What is the princess treatment trend and why are opinions divided?
Princess Treatment is the latest trend taking social media by storm, but people are divided following claims it's an excuse for control within a relationship. The trend started out as a bit of meaningless fun with women asking their partners if certain aspects of their relationship were 'bare minimum' or 'Princess Treatment.' Is buying flowers randomly for your partner the bare minimum in a relationship or Princess Treatment? What about paying for their monthly beauty appointments? Is buying flowers randomly for your partner the bare minimum in a relationship or Princess Treatment? What about paying for their monthly beauty appointments? Pic: Getty Images American influencer Courtney Palmer has taken to TikTok to share her own views on Princess Treatment, last month revealing she was 'recently promoted' to housewife and stay-at-home mom after previously working a full-time job. Courtney revealed her new role has allowed her to 'level up' with her princess treatment as she 'leaned into the feminine energy' which was unavailable in her work-life. 'Base line is respect in general, general love and adoration,' Courtney said, adding that other basic standards were her partner 'actively providing' for her love language — which she revealed was gifts. @jojoejoelle Replying to @user738305859 basic princess treatment ✨🤍 #princesstreatment #princesstreatmentonly #husbandwife ♬ original sound – courtney_joelle 'Holidays are a very big deal to me,' she confirmed. 'Obviously we have shared bank accounts, but if I'm with him he's paying. He's opening all the car doors — I'm not opening a car door, I'm not opening a door in general,' she stated. 'He talks to the hostess; he checks in for a dinner.' Courtney admitted she could 'see the comments' that would be left on the video, but clarified that while Princess Treatment can feel silly it was all about letting her partner 'take control.'

She said: 'I don't really tie my shoes, he does that for me. If there's any sort of weather predicament, like it's raining, he's going to cover me. Any like minor inconvenience, he's going to take care of. 'I think it's fun to be the Princess and turn my brain off. I'm just here to be pretty. You kinda have to think of it as fun and silly to get yourself into that Princess Treatment mode. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ireland AM (@irelandamvmtv) The topic was discussed on Wednesday's Ireland AM with broadcaster Barbara Scully stating 'that's not right.' 'I came of age in the early 80s when women didn't have all the rights we have now, we still have a way to go, no. I never, ever would have wanted,' Barbara explained. Barbara added that she wanted to be 'cherished but not controlled.'

Something for the Weekend: Alannah Thornburgh's cultural picks
Alannah Thornburgh is an award-winning instrumentalist and composer from the west of Ireland with a focus on traditional Irish harp. Alannah's music explores her family heritage, reimagining melodies from the Irish harping and American folk & jazz traditions. Alannah was awarded 'Best Folk Instrumentalist' at the 2025 RTÉ Folk Awards and she is the current Musician-In-Residence at Carnegie Library, Fingal County Council/Music is also a founding member of Alfi, a trio who combine traditional Irish and Appalachian music and song. In February 2025, Alannah released her acclaimed debut album Shapeshifter; this September, she performs as part of Tradition Now in the National Concert Hall We asked Alannah for her choice cultural picks... MUSIC I have been incessantly listening to Poor Creature's album All Smiles Tonight since its release at the start of July. I think Ruth Clinton (Poor Creature, Landless) is a genius (which she displays very impressively across many art forms!) Another album that I have on repeat is Double You - a collaborative album by two instrumental virtuosos Aoife Ní Bhriain & Catrin Finch. FILM My go-to films are anything silly and light-hearted (Bullet Train and Detective Pikachu are coming to mind as I write this). I have a curiosity for thrillers and horror films (especially from a soundtrack/soundscape point of view) but truthfully I am too much of a wimp to watch either genre (the twist at the end of Fight Club was so intense for me that I fainted!) BOOK I really enjoyed Donal Ryan's collection of short stories A Slanting of the Sun. I absolutely adore Eithne Massey's The Turning of the Year: Lore and Legends of the Irish Seasons, a book that I return to often for inspiration. Manchán Magan recently announced that he will be releasing a new book in September Ninety-Nine Words for Rain (and One for Sun) which I will definitely be pre-ordering (his book Wolf-Men and Water Hounds is another favourite of mine). PLAY I saw Louise O'Neill's masterpiece Asking for It in the Gaiety Theatre a number of years ago - a truly harrowing but moving piece of work. I was fortunate enough to compose and perform some music for the RTÉ radio play Clarity at Last written by the immensely talented Charlie McGuinness (due for broadcast in late 2025, I believe). TV I was hooked on Severance this year, both from a storyline and musical point of view (the use of a theremin in Season 2 was just perfect). I am also a big fan of The Bear, and I have been meaning to rewatch Desperate Housewives since becoming obsessed with Kyle MacLachlan's Instagram content. GIG I have been very lucky to see Fionn Regan perform live twice already this year (in The Ambassador Theatre and at Night & Day Festival). I will be heading to All Together Now in a couple of weeks and I am ecstatic about seeing Fontaines DC, CMAT, Wet Leg and Bricknasty live. ART My favourite artist is Conor Campbell, the Limerick-born colour-blind artist whose work is so intricately beautiful and unique. Conor painted the artwork for my album Shapeshifter, and I am looking forward to celebrating his work at Tradition Now in the National Concert Hall on Thursday 25th September (alongside Diarmuid Mac Gloinn, Gareth Quinn Redmond and Junior Brother). TECH My partner Alex is developing a memory retention app as part of his Masters in Design Innovation and I have been a (hopefully supportive) guinea pig during the testing process! THE NEXT BIG THING... Shamrock Showband! The lads (Conor McAuley & Jamie Bishop) are two great friends of mine and have recently released their debut (self-titled) album. Check them out!
