Sometimes I pity those women who married into rich families, especially those rich families which are very traditional.
The family heads expect these women to produce smart and handsome kids. They want someone to carry on the family name.
Even if those women want to continue working after marriage, they are not allowed to set up own businesses, since they have to help out with family business.
Those women who married into royalty face the same problem.
A Crown Prince must always have an heir to carry on the legacy. If his wife cannot bear a child, the pressure on her will be great. She cannot expect to head a big company and choose to be childless.

Every decision comes with consequences - we should know what we get into and not regret later.
Even men have issues when marrying a girl from a rich family - "I can always ask father for help" can be humiliating to hear! Self confidence is a must in these circumstances and also understanding - siva

Yes, I can imagine that.
I think it will be a greater problem for him, if his wife demands the same kind of luxury.
If his wife wants to go to Europe for a shopping spree, and then to New York for Christmas, that will make him stressful if he is an average income earner.

That is not always true in inherited wealth.
If the husband is a self-made rich man, he may love his wife a lot and does not mind not having a son to carry on the family name.
If he inherits the money, and his parents are very traditional, and wants a grandson, the marriage could breakup.

And usually the rich families may require the wives to have more boys rather than girls. There was a sweet movie star in Hong Kong who married to a rich man. She had three girls even when she was young. We all felt that she shall have a break because it is not easy for a woman to recover in a short time after delivery of baby. Then finally she had a boy and perhaps she could take a rest this time. I think marrying to rich family really needs to have a sacrifice.

I pity this movie star.
If she did not manage to have a boy, that alone could break up the marriage.
The stress is enough to make her crazy.
I wonder how those who married into rich family, and cannot produce a boy feel about their choice now.

That's why they have to think and weigh real hard before entering into such a relationship. There are disadvantages but i think there are also advantages. Some girls find out that the fairy tale wedding is not really a fairy tale when it comes to the real life already.

@scheng1 In that case, I do agree also with you. I don't know about any crown prince personally to talk about how love works in their life. But i do know some rich guys who let their wife explore and do whatever they think will be profitable for the business.

I'm glad I did not marry a rich man then. It is not easy to be stressed by your in laws.

That's what the traditions of royal families have been for many centuries. It wouldn't be the life I'd choose.
