Elements in these stories can include the princess's over - the - top reactions to normal things. Let's say she sees a little spider and she jumps on top of her bed and screams as if it's a giant dragon. Then there are the situations where the princess tries to be independent but fails in a hilarious way. For example, she decides to cook for herself but ends up burning the whole kitchen. And there are always the fairy godmothers or wizards who are a bit scatter - brained. They might turn the princess into a frog by mistake when they meant to give her a new dress.
Well, in short funny princess bedtime stories, there are often silly rules in the kingdom. For instance, the princess has to wear a different colored dress every day according to the moon phase. And if she doesn't, she'll get tickled by the royal jesters. There can also be a magic object that doesn't work as expected. Say, a magic mirror that gives wrong advice like 'You should eat more carrots if you want to fly'. And of course, there are the funny interactions between the princess and her not - so - bright servants. The servants might mix up the princess's bath water with the moat water.
One common element is the princess having some sort of funny quirk. For example, being extremely clumsy or having a really odd hobby like collecting snail shells. Another element could be the presence of comical animal sidekicks. They might be a talking squirrel that always gets the princess into trouble or a lazy cat that just lies around while the princess is in a panic. Also, misunderstandings often play a big role. Like the princess thinking that a gardener is a wizard because he has a long beard and a pointy hat.
