The Princess of Haga is a play about the Royal Family in Sweden during 1940-1970. Christina, one of the princesses, is critical about her position and the demands that she is expected to fulfill in order to perform the role of princess. The article discusses her relation to this role, to her royal family and how she handles being a princess and at the same time being presented as an ordinary woman in an ordinary family. She does her job but reveals at the same time how meaning about representing role models for people to identify within an ideal social order is created.
