The Punishment of Princesses

One day the headmistress of the school attended by Princess Beatrix telephoned Queen Juliana, Queen of Holland, and informed her that the Princess, her daughter, had refused to join her schoolmates in cleaning the school after lessons were over, as was the custom at the school. Queen Juliana said to her: "Let her come home walking on her own two feet, as a punishment for it." But the little Princess soon arrived at the palace and told her father, laughing, that she had ridden in a schoolmate's car. Whereupon the father did nothing less than take his daughter, the little Princess, back to the school in his car, and then drove along behind her the whole way — a distance of six miles — until she reached the palace on foot.
