What is the princess treatment trend and why are opinions divided?
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.'

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.' Pic: Getty Images
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.'
