About Princess
A princess is a rank, not a costume. In monarchies, the title marks a place in the line of succession, and the work that comes with it is often public: patronage of hospitals, charity appeals, state visits abroad where a royal stands in for the government. The crossword mixes the ceremonial side (a coronation, a scepter, a throne room) with the practical one, including the diplomatic errands and the duchess title many princesses also hold.
Reach for this after a fairy tale unit, when students are ready to sort storybook royalty from the real kingdoms and duties behind the word.
