Mid-Evil Princess and her Jester???

My niece just sent me this cute picture of my great niece who was a princess for Halloween. It may be a bit fuzzy as it was a camera phone picture. I'm waiting on her to send the real ones. I'm beginning to think she sent me this one just to tease me with how cute the good ones taken with a camera are. I'm thinking the dog, Jack, is either her royal subject or the court jester-not sure which but he did manage to get in the picture!
