Decoding Princess Glam

Hello! Discovers a treasure trove of glamorous tales as we visit the lives of modern princesses from the foremost families of erstwhile royal states. These young women have seen both classic ideas of fashion, as well as how such codes have shape-shifted. They carry in their bearing, the signature of faded dynasties, gliding with equal ease between inherited palaces and skyscrapers. From carrying age-old traditions to bagging ivy-league degrees, india’s blue-blooded millennials come together as a force to reckon with.

A rich childhood: “I am grateful for all the opportunities I have been blessed with.”

I believe.... “Be true to yourself. Be helpful and supportive to elders in the family.”

What shaped me: “A family of riders, my father established ‘The Royal Kashmir Polo Team’ in 1992. Watching him inspired me to play polo. Growing up, my brother Martand and I had a mix of a country and city life. We were around local paragliders, artists/ potters, Buddhist monks in Himachal to spending time in the city with our friends.”

My heritage, a responsibility: “I understood not only the importance but also the commitment to duties, and obligations of growing up in a family with a rich heritage, culture and significant history at an early age, especially from my grandparents.”
