A princess is a girl or woman who is the daughter of a monarch or other high-ranking member of a royal family. The title can also be conferred upon a commoner who marries into the nobility, for example Princess Diana of Wales married Crown Prince Charles of Wales. A princess is often considered a symbol of beauty, grace, and virtue. The term can also be used as a term of endearment to mean someone is cherished, loved, or treated with special care.
In the past, princesses were rare as women were not allowed to inherit their countries’ thrones like men. However, with the rise of equality for women, more and more princesses have been born. The most recent was Sonja Haraldsen of Norway who became a princess upon her marriage to Crown Prince Harald in 1968. Princesses often do charity work as a way to show their benevolence and kindness.
The actress who plays Princess Alice in the Netflix series The Crown is a perfect example of this. The character of Alice, played by Victoria Hamilton Debicki, was born into royalty (her father was a member of the House of Battenberg) but she also struggled with mental health issues and fought hard to get recognition for her noble deeds. For instance, she was a patron for Centrepoint (homeless charity), English National Ballet, and the Leprosy Mission. She was also president of the National AIDS Trust. In addition, Alice was a well-known activist who fought for the rights of deaf people in Greece and even helped a Jewish family during the Nazi occupation of her country.
