Princess Mary College Edit Meaning

1.

Ironic slang name for Taroona High School near Hobart (the capital city of Tasmania, Australia).

Used to jokingly make a very good, but quite ordinary, state public school attended by Princess Mary of Denmark (formerly plain Mary Donaldson of Tasmania), sound like an impressive and expensive private school.

"No, I've decided not to send Elizabeth to St Michael's Collegiate. She will be attending Princess Mary College instead."

which means

"No, don't be stupid! I can't afford to send her to that snobbish school. She can go to Taroona High instead like her father."

See princess, mary, denmark, tasmania, school
