Princess

A princess is a hereditary title held by a female member of a royal family or one who comes from noble lineage. A woman of noble bearing may also marry into the title, at which point, her daughters would then inherit the title upon the mother's death. The male equivalent to a princess is a prince. Being a princess affords one some measure of authority within a kingdom and the followers of the King or Queen are generally expected to obey the wishes of a princess, so long as it does not violate the wishes of the family or the laws set forth by the reigning government.
