There was a previous discussion about it (Pie provided a link to a more detailed explanation of its origins): http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/4226751

Pie's link is detailed, all right - wow!

And the consensus seems to be that it was a Celtic Twilight-type of revival. Which makes sense. I'm just a bit sceptical about presumably non-royal Old Irish parents naming their daughters "Real Princess" as if they'd just found a pea under the mattress. Perhaps there was another reason for its use, which hasn't (yet?) been found.
Fine-sounding name, though! Well worth revisiting.
