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.'

Where is Patrick Kielty's ex Amanda Byram now?
Before Patrick Kielty's whirlwind romance and now separation from Cat Deeley, the Late Late Show host dated another famous face. Kielty and Deeley announced their separation this week after over a decade of marriage. The pair wed in September 2012 at a ceremony in Rome and have two children together. The now former couple drew some unwanted attention earlier this year when This Morning's Cat did not attend her mother-in-law's funeral. Patrick Kielty and Amanda Byram. Pic: James Whatling/Justin GoffUK Press via Getty Images Years before the comedian's marriage and subsequent separation, Patrick dated another TV star, Amanda Byram. While the details of their former relationship are sparse, it's understood that the pair first met all the way back in 1999 when Amanda joined TV3 to host Ireland AM. Patrick and Amanda were often photographed at events together, until sometime in 2003 when they ultimately called it quits on their relationship. Patrick Kielty and Amanda Byram. Pic: Colin Keegan/Collins Dublin In the 2000s, Amanda made the big move to the US to pursue opportunities in American television, presenting programmes such as The Swan and Paradise Hotel. The Dublin native then returned to the UK, where she hosted the popular Total Wipeout alongside Richard Hammond from 2009 to 2012. Amanda Byram. Pic: Mike Marsland/Mike Marsland/WireImage/Getty Images In 2017, she became the host of Dancing with the Stars back in Ireland, but did not return to the show in 2019 due to personal and professional commitments between London and LA. Amanda met her TV producer husband, Julian Okines, in 2014, and the pair announced their engagement the following year. The couple met just before Amanda was heading on a trip to Italy with her mum. Speaking about Julian to the Irish Independent in 2017, Amanda said: 'At this stage, I was single for a solid year, it was three years in total, but one year since I touched a man. I said to my mum, 'I met this cute guy and we really hit it off. Will I ask him to come to Italy with me? Is he going to think I'm too full on?' Pic: Instagram/Amanda Byram 'And he said it was one of the things made him fall for me. There was no b******t, he said, 'you weren't wrapped in your own head.' She added: 'That was really it, then our relationship blossomed. I was in a place where I knew if it doesn't work out, so what? 'Prior to that, I cared so much about what if what if I messed it up, but because of what I'd been through, I was so comfortable with myself and my decisions. It's truly why we've lasted the test of time.' Amanda and Julian welcomed their first baby boy, Phoenix Blaze Byram Okines, in November 2021, when Amanda was 48. The TV star kept the pregnancy a secret until announcing the birth on social media. In February this year, Amanda announced that they are now a family of four following the birth of their son Jett Indy Byram Okines. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amanda Byram (@amandabyram) Announcing the joyous news on Instagram, she wrote: 'Jett's recent arrival was quite the surprise – as my wonderfully low key pregnancy was suddenly interrupted when my waters broke a month early… and 36 hours later, my second little man powered into our lives like he had been here forever!! 'We know that we are beyond lucky to have a second miracle in our lives, and feel so grateful to all the magnificent doctors and nurses who aided us in our IVF journey.' She added: 'It was long, exhausting, and utterly devastating at times, but I wouldn't change a single thing given that it all led me here to my two incredible boys… one my heart and the other my soul. Pic: Instagram/Amanda Byram 'I hope sharing this can be a source of inspiration for those parents in-waiting… I know the odds are against us but it can happen!!' Speaking to You Magazine, Amanda hit out at nasty comments she had received about having children later in life. She said: 'People assumed I had chosen to delay motherhood for my career. The truth? It took me 41 years to meet someone I truly wanted to build a life with… I might be here for decades to come or I might not. What I can control is the love I give and the lessons I pass down.' In January, Amanda announced that the family had purchased their dream home in London, but that it 'requires a complete renovation top to bottom'. She has since been sharing regular updates on the project on social media.
