"Though Palmer has been posting about the "princess treatment" for months , she went viral more recently for two specific videos - one where she shares she doesn't tie her own shoelaces and waits for her husband to do so, and one where she explains that she doesn't speak to waitstaff (or make eye contact?) when she's at a restaurant with her husband."
"Predictably, the internet has had a strong reaction to Palmer's claims: "It's giving cult or hostage situation," one user commented on her restaurant video. "Refusing to speak to, look at or aknowledge [sic] the hostess, server & others you encounter is just plain rude," wrote someone else. "Do you bring home a take out box for Offred?" asked a third person, referencing " The Handmaid's Tale .""
Courtney Palmer, known online as @courtney_joelle, promotes a "princess treatment" approach that emphasizes traditional femininity and male protectiveness. Her recent videos show her refusing to tie her own shoelaces and not speaking to or making eye contact with waitstaff when dining with her husband. Palmer frames these behaviors as a way to highlight her husband's masculinity. Many viewers reacted strongly, calling the behaviors rude or likening them to coercive dynamics. Despite criticism, Palmer's content receives significant engagement and connects with a growing tradwife aesthetic popularized by creators like Nara Smith and Hannah Neeleman.
