Princess Behavior

I had the opportunity to tell the story of the Princess and the Pea to a friend who grew up in another country and did not know the story. His questions were: (1.) why was it considered a sign of a true princess to complain about the pea under the mattresses? and (2.) while were are on this topic, why was it okay for Goldilocks to break into the bears' house and then complain about everything? and (3.) was the princess related to Goldilocks?
Neither one is from the U.S.

Neither of the tales cited originated in the United States. The Goldilocks story, at least, was first told in the English language, but in England, apparently first written down by Robert Southey in 1837. The Princess's tale [did I get the apostrophe correct?] is from Denmark, first published by Hans Christian Andersen in 1835.
So you shouldn't have to be American to understand either one.

Agreed.... but not every culture worldwide has these stories. I'm curious how many people know the story of the princess and pea.

I never thought Goldilocks' behavior was ok. Do most people?

But I agree. The bears got a bad rap.
