princess

King's female heir

A princess is a daughter of a king or queen, or the wife of a prince.

The term extends to any woman of royal rank.

Figuratively, princess describes someone treated with special privilege or who expects such treatment: She's such a princess—she won't carry her own bags.

The word can be affectionate or disparaging depending on tone.
