On June 23, the long-reigning “Princess of Pop,” Britney Spears, appeared remotely in front of a Los Angeles court and asked them to end her 13-year conservatorship.

According to the official website of the Judicial Branch of California, “A conservatorship is a court case where a judge appoints a responsible person or organization (called the ‘conservator’) to care for another adult (called the ‘conservatee’) who cannot care for himself or herself or manage his or her own finances.” In this case, the conservators are Spears’ father and her attorney.
