crown princesses

Future queens apparent

Crown princesses is the plural of crown princess—a woman who is heir apparent to a throne, or the wife of a crown prince.

The title indicates she stands first in the line of succession or is married to the man who does: The crown princesses of Europe gathered for the summit.

In some monarchies, a crown princess holds the title by birth; in others, only by marriage.
