The Princess generation needs to grow up

I never dreamed I’d see the day when I agreed with Miriam González Durántez – such a snob that she believes people can be socially snubbed by being given Hellman’s mayonnaise, such a Euro-bore that she found Brexit ‘devastating’ and so short-sighted that she sees sex with Nick Clegg as a reasonable proposition. But with this recent Twitter rant, I quite warmed to her:

‘When you have a 2.30 hours delay in a British Airways flight (what is happening to this airline!?) open the inflight shop magazine and want to scream: STOP-CALLING-GIRLS-LITTLE-PRINCESSES!! It cannot be so difficult for an airline to get this right…’

Mind you, it’s pretty likely that Ms González Durántez’ refined sense of Euro-chic was a little of the inspiration for this slice of splenetic splendour; the item which inspired her ire was a frankly repulsively cheap-looking pink plastic watch bearing the images of the two princesses from Frozen.
