A princess is a member of a royal family, usually the daughter of a monarch. The term is also used for a woman who has high social status. A princess dress is one that is designed to hang in smooth, close-fitting, unbroken lines from shoulder to flared hem.
Those who are princesses represent the royal family at public events and ceremonies and make royal visits. They may be involved in charitable work, especially on behalf of the homeless and disabled people, and they are often able to raise large sums for their cause through their popularity.
When a person is described as being a princess, it can mean that they are a beautiful and highly valued person. It can also be a pejorative, implying that the person is something of a diva.
Princess Alice of Battenberg is a fascinating and strange character who lived an extraordinary life. Although she was deaf and unable to speak, she was whip-smart and clever. Her ancestors were from the Battenberg branch of the European royal family, and she was related to the Queen. In her later years, she took to the life of a nun and engaged in charity work. During the Second World War, she helped to protect a Jewish family in Athens.
Princess Alice is currently enjoying a resurgence in interest thanks to Netflix’s The Crown. However, there is much more to the real-life story than is shown in the show. In particular, she worked for the Red Cross and, during the occupation of Athens by the Italian and German forces in World War II, sheltered Rachel Cohen and her children.
