I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often.

The line asserts an unapologetic claim to erotic and emotional autonomy. By framing desire as a “right,” the speaker rejects exclusivity as a moral default and treats love as plural, changeable, and self-directed rather than a fixed contract. The fairy-tale image of “my prince” is used ironically: instead of waiting for a single rescuing figure, the speaker chooses, replaces, and multiplies partners on her own terms. In a Nin context, it resonates with her broader exploration of female desire, nonconformity, and the tension between romantic myth and lived complexity.
