The princesses that are going to be queens, basically learn to be honest, grateful, powerful, strong, kind and respectful. About studies, they learn in childhood latin, old greek, english, spanish and other languages, especcially arabian, chinese and german, if they need to. Princesses read the "right" books. No novels, no tales, they read books like "The life of Luis XIV", (Il Re Sole, Gerosa, 1990), Maria Antoinette (Fraser), Henry VIII, Napoleone Bonaparte (Gerosa), Charles I, Elisabeth of Baviera, Joan of Arc, Caterina De' Medici, and so on; also they have to know very well history and geography, literature and music, especially classic music and chamber music. Very important are the essays like "Il Principe" ("The Prince", '400) of Macchiavelli about Cesare Borgia, the Pope Borgia's son. (It's about the right beahavior of a prince and how to deal with the court.)
Their studies include dance, singing, they have to attend classes of gait, they have to learn how to kneeling during Mass and how to pray in the morning and evening. They have to learn, in the case of europian princesses, the prayers in latin: Pater noster, Ave Maria, Oremus, Angelus and Gloria Patri. They have to know the old greek tragedy and they will see them in theater, also htey have to apprecciate sculptors like Gian Lorenzo Bernini (he designed San Pietro in Vatican City and the colonnade and the created "Apollo e Dafne", Galleria Borghese, Roma)and Canova ("La Barcaccia", Quare of Spain, Roma, '600), painters like Donatello, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Jean Luis David (the offical painter of Napoleone), architects like Le Brun (he designed Versailles, '600) and Borromini (The Church of Sant’ Ivo alla Sapienza, Roma (1642-1650).
Finally they have to learn how to reverence and how to controlling the others and to be respected all the time.
Hope it will help you.
