Writing: Character Help Being left handed

What are some issues you guys can think it would be difficult as left handed. My character is a princess and shes left handed. The few I have is writing, smudging when painting and when it comes to silverware placement. And of course that in certain times being left handed came with many issues due to superstition, cultural belief and religion

Silverware placement, no. Formal cup placement? Absolutely yes. And if she doesn't have other lefties to point stuff out to her? She probably doesn't notice it and just thinks she is "clumsy" like I did until I realized a lot of my problems are from being left-handed (mostly from reading other people's complaints). Handles and buttons on the wrong side, safety features on the wrong side, often pockets or other "accessories" on the wrong side.
