Monarchy has been in existence since historical times and some countries still follow the custom of King, Queens, Prince and Princesses. A Princess is the daughter of a King and Queen. A Princess may or may not be an heir apparent to the throne, may be married or unmarried. This regal rank is conferred through either marriage to prince or by birth to a monarch or a sovereign prince.
