I remember this story very well because after reading this tale, I put a pea under my mattress and slept like a log. I guess I am not a true princess after all.
3:24 The mattresses and featherbeds were to be stacked on top of the pea, not lifted up all at once. And also the queen ordered the servants and maids to do all that.
I think this tale is a lovely ode to sensitive people. Perhaps the prince valued this delicateness as a quality of deep interior feminine sensitivity that would make one compassionate and pure of heart - for to love, and empathise, one must feel deeply…!
Strange a king would answer his front door and strange a princess showed up with no escort party. I remember Carol Burnett doing a musical version of this.
I always found it rude how the princess was let in to sleep at a foreign castle, was gifted such a wonderful place to sleep and had the nerve to COMPLAIN about how dreadful her sleep was lol
Lucky pea 🫛 He didn't end up in soup. 😁 As for another possible reason the princess didn't sleep well... Hypersensitivity due to autism? I have the condition, and have been compared to this Princess all my life because of it. Not to mention, many autistic people have insomnia even without a pea in their bed.
"All the women he meet didn't have what he was looking for ." Morals, ethics, honesty, kindness and the ability to accept him for who he is. Much like todays females 😄
Oh well, the snobby prince and fragile damsel, they truly fit 🤭 I really love the little pea in the end!

Is anyone else impressed that the queen was able to lift 20 mattresses and 20 featherbeds long enough to put a pea under them? I struggle to lift one!
Jealousy makes a woman hulky

When I was a kid and listen to the story, I thought I was a princess because I can also feel what was under my mattress

The pea is currently in Oxford at the storytime museum. Saw it there last week
