It’s hard to think about Disney without thinking about three things: Mickey Mouse, Disneyland, and Disney Princesses. The last of those is a particular favorite for little girls and little girls at heart — including me! Therefore, it is no surprise that I am especially excited for the first annual National Princess week, which is happening today, April 22nd, until Saturday, April 28.

This royal event is being hosted by Julie Andrews, Target, and Disney. During this special week, children across the country are invited to celebrate the sparkle and wonder of every princess – real, aspiring or imagined. Regarding the creation of National Princess week, Julie Andrews said “Throughout my career as an actress and author, I’ve encouraged children to use their imaginations and dream big. Joining Disney and Target to create National Princess Week is an extension of my work – a moment in time for children to celebrate their individuality and let their inner sparkle shine.”
