princesshood

Tiara-wearer's formal rank

The state or condition of being a princess.

The word appears in discussions of royal status or, more often, in figurative contexts about feminine privilege or fantasy: She never outgrew the princesshood her parents bestowed on her.

Like kingship or queenship, it can describe either the formal position or the bearing associated with it.
