A new It Girl royal is coming. Her name is Harriet Sperling, and she just got engaged to Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips.
And you best believe Harriet is getting the full royal welcome!
Now that the news is out about her engagement, the NHS nurse has scored an invite to the super-exclusive summer holiday at the royals’ estate in Scotland, where the whole family heads every year to relax and hang out together.
Think of it like your family’s annual trip to a seaside caravan park… only it’s nothing like that at all. Because a very unique “test” is waiting.
You see, it’s at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland that the storied ‘Balmoral Test’ is waiting for would-be royals, potential princesses and those keen to charm their way into the royal inner circle.
Listen to Mamamia Out Loud’s hosts discuss the ‘Princess Test’. Post continues after podcast.
The Balmoral Test is an unofficial initiation that guests of the British Royal Family — especially new romantic partners — are said to undergo at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
It’s not a formal examination (well, technically) but rather a weekend-long assessment of one’s ability to navigate royal life and etiquette… which is, umm super normal.
