A princess is a female member of a monarch’s family, often the daughter of the reigning king or queen. Unlike the term duchess (which refers to a woman who is married to a prince and rules over a duchy), a princess does not usually hold a direct lineage to the throne, although the title is a symbol of her status as an heir apparent. She may be given ceremonial duties and represent the royal family at events and charitable activities.
During the time when Diana was alive, it is said that she was one of the most photographed women in history. She was followed by paparazzi in her car, on foot and on motorcycle, and even while she was exercising on gym equipment and swimming. This behaviour was unheard of at the time, and led to a change in media coverage of individuals that was far more respectful of their privacy.
Princesses are often admired and even adored, not because they are like everyone else but because they are not. They are often seen as a placeholder in an elaborate social hierarchy, which is certainly true of the worlds that princess movies generally inhabit.
While princesses are obeyed, admired and even adored, what they really want is to be seen and recognised for who they are. This Twinkl Parenting WIKI includes a range of resources to support parents in encouraging their children to think about these issues.
