So, I'm Tutoring Royalty. It's...Something.
You know how life throws you curveballs? This was more like a dodgeball aimed directly at my face. Turns out, my new job involves teaching royal twins. Yes, actual princes and princesses.
My first unpopular opinion? Their tiaras are surprisingly impractical. I mean, how are you supposed to concentrate on fractions with all that bling weighing you down?
The Expectations vs. Reality Situation
I pictured elegant lessons in a sun-drenched library. Think Beauty and the Beast. What I got was more like... a slightly chaotic study hall. Complete with smuggled snacks.
Seriously, hiding gummy bears in a history textbook? Classic Prince George.
Turns out, even royalty struggles with long division. Who knew?
The Truth About Royal Protocol (It's Weird)
There's a lot of bowing. And curtseying. And remembering who gets addressed first.
I keep accidentally calling Princess Amelia "Amy." I think the Queen's giving me side-eye.
Another unpopular opinion: all that formality? Exhausting. Can't we just all wear sweatpants and call it a day?
The Perks? They Exist.
Okay, okay, it's not all bad. The palace gardens are pretty spectacular. And the afternoon tea is phenomenal.
Plus, the royal corgis are ridiculously cute. Though, they did try to eat my homework once.
Maybe they just didn't appreciate my essay on the Magna Carta.
The Unpopular Opinions Keep Coming
Look, I know it sounds glamorous, tutoring the future leaders of the nation. But let's be real, it's mostly just reminding them to use complete sentences.
Is it just me, or are royal portraits always slightly…awkward? No one smiles! I’m campaigning for a candid photo shoot.
And another thing: all that talk about duty and responsibility? It can be a bit much. Sometimes, kids just need to be kids.
My most unpopular opinion? Being a royal shouldn't mean you can skip your chores. Someone's gotta empty the dishwasher in that castle!
The Little Wins
Despite the tiaras, the protocol, and the occasional corgi-related incident, there are moments of genuine connection.
Like when Prince George finally understood quadratic equations. Or when Princess Amelia aced her French vocabulary quiz.
Those are the moments that make it all worthwhile. Even if I still think the tiaras are impractical.
So yeah, I'm tutoring royalty. It's chaotic. It's surreal. And it's definitely not what I expected.
But hey, at least I have some good stories to tell now. Just don't tell the Queen I said that.
Final unpopular opinion? History class would be WAY more interesting if we just talked about royal gossip.
"The key to teaching royalty, I've discovered, is patience. And a very large supply of chocolate."
