Princess
A female member of a monarchy or sovereign family, usually the consort of a prince. Also used for the daughters of a king or hereditary prince. During the reign of King Charles III, the female monarch of England was called a princess consort (or simply “the princess”). In other countries, such as Norway and Andorra, princesses may rule as crown princesses.
Princess can refer to a person’s physical appearance or her status in life, such as that of a daughter, sister, granddaughter, or aunt. It can also be a term of endearment or affection, such as when a girl is referred to as “my little princess” by her parents.
As women gained more power and respect in European history, the title of princess became more common, especially for the daughters of a king or other royal or noble families. In old English, a woman of royalty or high rank was usually called simply “Lady first name,” but the title of princess could be given for special distinction.
For example, Alice of Battenberg—daughter of King George I and the wife of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh—was a princess who worked for the Red Cross and hid Jewish families during World War II in her home in Athens, even though she lived only yards away from Gestapo headquarters. Her efforts earned her a posthumous honor from Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, as “Righteous Among the Nations.”
