Q: How did your parent's divorce affect your life?

Q: What was life like being a princess?

Q: How did the press affect your everyday life?
A: It was very difficult trying to go out in public because no matter where I went there was always someone there trying to get my picture, or they would be asking me questions. It made my life a lot harder, but everyone has complications in life.
Q: Would you go back in time and change anything? why or why not?
A: I would never go back and change anything. Yes, sometimes things didn’t go as I planned, but there’s a reason for everything that happens. If I would change anything I wouldn’t be who I am today. Life has its ups and downs but you just have to make the best of every moment because you never know when your last day will be (Fox 120).
