What Is a Princess?

A princess is the daughter or granddaughter (if female) of a monarch. The male equivalent is a prince. Princesses represent the royal family at public events, ceremonies, fundraisers, and other functions. They may also travel with the royal family on official visits to other countries.

A prince or princess has a special duty to promote goodwill and understanding between nations. This includes helping to raise money for humanitarian causes and encouraging people in other countries to learn about their culture. Princesses can also help promote awareness about health issues such as AIDS and other diseases.

Princess Alice, great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, did many good deeds in her life. But one of her best-known was when she sheltered a Jewish family from the Nazis in World War II. Her story was widely broadcast, and it brought her international acclaim.

In The Crown, she also gave a sympathetic interview to journalist John Armstrong (played by Colin Morgan). His article helped the public shift their attitude towards her and her family.

Unlike her mother, Princess Diana, Princess Anne has made an effort to engage with the public and take on many of the duties associated with being the head of the royal household. She has a natural curiosity that she is eager to explore. She loves reading and is always learning about the history of her country, constitutional practice, and literature. She even finds time for the Girl Guides and the Boys’ Brigade.
