The Politically Active Princess is a princess that takes active interest in and plays an active role in politics. Naive courtiers and commoners alike might view her only as a figurehead, but in truth, she discreetly uses her position and guile in order to achieve her ends. Skilled in diplomacy, she will usually attempt to solve conflicts via conversation or bargaining, rather than combat. Her defining trait is her involvement in politics or diplomatic matters, without letting herself serve only as a bargaining chip. That, however, does not mean she cannot be a Lady of War, Warrior Princess or Pretty Princess Powerhouse at the same time. Although historically neither princes nor princesses were expected to involve themselves in such matters, in fiction, this trope is Always Female, as male royals are typically expected to act, while women... not so much. A Sub-Trope of Royals Who Actually Do Something. A Sister Trope to Princesses Rule, where the princess is the de facto or de jure head of state. Due to her active role, is likely to be Princess Protagonist. Compare Rebellious Princess, Spirited Young Lady, Silk Hiding Steel. Contrast Princess Classic. |

The ruling family in the Heralds of Valdemar series are always Royals Who Actually Do Something, but the standout is Princess Elspeth. When she realizes that mages are going to be an active threat to the kingdom, she sets out personally to find her own magical resources so they can be defended. In the process, she wins allies among the reclusive Tayledras and discovers that she is a mage herself. Later, she becomes a sort of diplomat to the newly-reorganized Kingdom of Hardorn and helps them settle their own magical problems. | |

In A Practical Guide to Evil First Prince Cordelia Hasenbach was this before becoming leader of her country. She starts off as a castle's seneschal at age 12, and at age 13 already largely runs her mother's realm. In her teenage years, she uncovers and then tries to expose the foreign influence fanning the flames of civil war in her country to her fellow aristocrats, and around age 20 ends the aforementioned war. Unlike many aristocrats in the setting, she isn't at all martially inclined, instead, her weapons are letters, treaties, courtesies and clever use of court ettiquette. | |

Marina Ismail from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, although she's not very good at it, generally being labeled a weaker-willed version of Relena.

Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper: Anneliese's Character Development sees her grow from a Princess Classic to one of these, beginning the movie resigning herself to an Arranged Marriage to save her kingdom from bankruptcy, to kickstarting a new mining industry when she finds some geodes in the caves, her background in science allowing her to realize how valuable they were—something her mother's Treacherous Adviser completely missed. She was always Spoiled Sweet, but it's also implied that meeting Erika (the pauper) opened her eyes to how unfair life is to the poor, and that she now intends to use her position to do something about it. | |

In Discworld fic Strandpiel, by A.A. Pessimal, graduate Assassin, Ruth N'Kweze, is recalled Home by her father, an autocratic King, to take up her duties as Paramount Crown Princess. Since she was perfectly happy and comfortable in Ankh-Morpork, she resents being called back to Howondaland. She then obeys her father's command to the very letter. But not the spirit. She begins by exercising the prerogative of the Paramount Crown Princess to raise an impi of fighting soldiers for the Zulu Empire. But nobody has ever specified how many soldiers make up an impi. Or what sex they should be. She raises - and leads in battle - two thousand female soldiers. And having established her credentials as a Princess, she then starts to steer the future course of the Empire. This necessarily involves The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry. She has a big advantage here. She was trained as an Assassin. | |

Princess Renner of Overlord (2012) has instituted several reforms that result in her being adored by the people and viewed as a naive goody-two-shoes by most of the nobles in the kingdom. Too bad she's a complete sociopath who only does it to see the look of utter adoration on her bodyguard Climb, and end up selling out the kingdom to Nazarick. | |

Princess Josetta of Elemental Blessings is an interesting example, almost a deconstruction. She's the king's eldest daughter and most likely heir since he has no sons, so she was certainly raised to be this. The deconstruction comes from the fact that she loathes politics, and has no real talent for them. | |

The Asterisk War: Deuteragonist Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld is heir apparent to Lieseltania, a constitutional monarchy in central Europe, and chose to attend Seidoukan Academy and become a Festa tournament fighter to force political change in her homeland. She starts with using her Phoenix Festa victory wish to force the integrated enterprise foundation that really runs her country to fund an orphanage she often visited as a child and escalates to planning to use her Gryps Festa wish to expand the powers of the king (her elder brother) so he can really work to improve the lives of common citizens. That this puts her in danger is noted. | |

Kris Longknife: Downplayed with Kris. She's the daughter of Wardhaven's prime minister and great-granddaughter to the man who is crowned King of the United Society at the end of the first book and was raised to be her elder brother's campaigner, before rebelling against her family and joining the Navy instead. She's not terribly politically active due to the demands of her military career, but she will use her celebrity (and her money) to help causes when she feels she needs to (which often puts her at loggerheads with her Corrupt Corporate Executive grandfather). Vicky Peterwald, Grand Duchess of the Greenfeld Empire, is a justified example. A naval officer as well, she's forced to become active in politics as a survival tactic after her stepmother puts a price on her head, and puts a lot of work into political reform of the Empire (first having to reconquer much of it from her stepmother's relatives). |

Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Atha from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny are the political face and muscle of the Three Ships' Alliance and Terminal. Lacus wages a propaganda war against Patrick Zala and then Gilbert Durandal, while Cagalli leads the nation of Orb as president and commander-in-chief. While Lacus isn't a literal princess (PLANT is not a monarchy), as the daughter of PLANT Chairman Siegel Clyne, she gets treated like one by the people. Cagalli on the other hand is an actual princess, and though the United Emirates of Orb is a constitutional monarchy it has no problem with someone simultaneously being the reigning monarch, the elected president, and the top general of their military. By the age of 18. | |

The role of Tawananna from Red River (1995) is a mix of this, Hot Consort and The High Queen. It also drives the plot since the main character, Yuri Suzuki, decides to rise in power and become this to counter the plans of the current Tawananna, Queen Nakia, who actually murdered the former one (Kail's mother Henti) to get her place. Furthermore, this trope is why Prince Kail is so picky about what woman he's going to marry: the Tawananna is expected to take an active role in ruling and he wants a woman who has good looks, a good heart and enough brains to become his partner and Queen. | |

The Queen of Ieflaria: Princess Esofi is very concerned with the issues of Ieflaria, since the reason she went there to begin with is forging a marriage alliance between it and Rhodia, her home country. She's intent on protecting them from dragon attacks with her battlemages and setting up a university to train more. | |

Princess Henrietta from The Familiar of Zero is very active politically. For example, at one point she hires Saito and Loise to spy on a village to confirm her suspicions about corruption within the nobility, because she doesn't trust the usual sources. However, it appears that not only is Princess Henrietta the heir to the throne, when her father dies, she is running the country, as her mother "did not have the heart to continue to rule Tristain after her loss". | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Star averts this at first, having been more interested in having interdimensional adventures with her friends, and at one point she questions if she even wants to become Queen after her mother. However, she starts playing it straight after some Character Development. After the Battle for Mewni Star declared her intention to be a better princess to Mewni, and she's starting with mending the Fantastic Racism between Mewmans and Monsters (easier said than done). | |

The Gundam franchise is fond of this kind of character: Kycilia Zabi of Mobile Suit Gundam is the franchise's first example acting as a political and military leader, and eventually seizing control of the Principality from her brother Gihren after discovering that he murdered their father. Audrey Burne (aka Mineva Lao Zabi) of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn who wants to reform the Zeon remnants. Relena Peacecraft from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing serves this role after undergoing some character development. She is a pacifist, and that motivates her to use her political clout to try to stop the war. Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Atha from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny are the political face and muscle of the Three Ships' Alliance and Terminal. Lacus wages a propaganda war against Patrick Zala and then Gilbert Durandal, while Cagalli leads the nation of Orb as president and commander-in-chief. While Lacus isn't a literal princess (PLANT is not a monarchy), as the daughter of PLANT Chairman Siegel Clyne, she gets treated like one by the people. Cagalli on the other hand is an actual princess, and though the United Emirates of Orb is a constitutional monarchy it has no problem with someone simultaneously being the reigning monarch, the elected president, and the top general of their military. By the age of 18. Marina Ismail from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, although she's not very good at it, generally being labeled a weaker-willed version of Relena. While phrased as a compliment, her closest adviser tells her outright that she's far better at charitable work and being a goodwill ambassador than she is at politics and ruling. |

In The Empress of China, many imperial wives hold this position. Consort Wei manages to manipulate chancellors or generals through their sisters/daughters in the harem, Consort Yang intents to restore the Sui dynasty through her son, and obviously, there's Wu Meiniang, who had a lot of influence on the emperor before becoming her own political figure. | |

In Brave King Fergus and the Scottish lords are on the verge of war when Princess Merida brings the four factions back together and declares that one should choose whom he or she marries according to his or her heart. Her suitors agree, stating that their arranged marriage was their fathers' idea. Thus, the clan leader agrees that their sons must win Merida's heart before winning her hand. | |

Princess Diana of Themiscyra, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, is her country's ambassador to "man's world". The nature of superhero comics, however, leads to there being far more focus on punching supervillains in the face than on political activity. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire has many female nobles of different rank who are actively involved in the incredibly complex power games. Which ones actually count as princesses depends on who you ask, since various characters recognise different kings, but the ones who consider themselves princesses are Daenerys (who considers herself queen after her brother's death), Asha Greyjoy (once her father declares himself a king), and Arianne Martell (who is from a land where she can actually inherit from her father, the reigning prince, and rule as princess in her own right). This is not counting the various queens and noble ladies who are at least as active as their male counterparts. | |

Code Geass: Actual Pacifist Euphemia li Britannia offers her own way to solve the problem with the Japanese peacefully. Lelouch even says she has won everything in a single move. At least until Lelouch's permanently active Geass forces her to go on a massacre... Princess Cornelia is very active in both politics and the military. In R2 blind and crippled Nunnally gets involved in Schneizel and Lelouch's games, despite the best efforts of her "advisor" to keep her just as a figurehead. |

Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones. By Season 6, she officially holds the title of princess since her brother Jon is crowned King in the North. After many years surviving and learning how to play the game of thrones in the south, Sansa actively assists Jon in navigating the new political arena that they find themselves in, even going toe-to-toe with Littlefinger when he attempts to manipulate and undermine their rule. In Season 7, she and her sister Arya finally put him through a Kangaroo Court and execute him. Season 8 sees Jon exiled to the Wall, Bran on the Iron Throne, and Sansa crowned as the Queen in the North. Rhaenyra Targaryen aspires to be this in the first season of House of the Dragon, especially after her father names her his heir. She already attends Small Council meetings as the cupbearer, although when she tries to make suggestions she tends to be politely ignored. She does make an effort to have sway over decisions, choosing Ser Criston Cole as the new Kingsguard (as he has the most combat experience) and resolving the dragon egg theft incident diplomatically, though she's well aware people may not listen to her on account of her being a girl. Come "King of the Narrow Sea", she is no longer in cupbearing duty and is seated in the Small Council (presumably in her capacity as Princess of Dragonstone). By the season's end, she's The Leader of the Black faction and a queen claimant. |

In Deryni: Araxie Haldane is clearly this, particularly in the period just prior to her marriage to Kelson in King Kelson's Bride. When presented with a plan to evacuate the family to the safety of Rhemuth, her mother and sister raise many objections over the incomplete wedding preparations, and Araxie steps in to get them to cooperate. She later makes a diplomatic suggestion to resolve Kelson's difficulties with his prospective Ramsay in-laws (for which she gets a relationship-changing kiss from Kelson), and leads the negotiating team to convince Rothana to take the scola position Kelson offered. Morag Furstana is sister to King Wencit, but cannot rule under Torenthi laws and traditions. Even so, she serves as a regent for two of her sons in succession, and she is depicted as an equal participant in the family deliberations. Later still, Liam asks her opinion on what to do with Teymuraz directly after the failed coup d'etat. |

Most of the female cast of Drowtales counts; since their society is a Matriarchy, it's expected. Zala'ess Vel'Sharen is probably the best example since she's the politician among her three sisters. And because Queen Diva is quite reclusive, all of her daughters perform most of her duties. In fact, the older sisters convinced Zala to help them imprison their mother in a secret coup. | |

Princess Natalia from Tales of the Abyss, despite her initial brattiness, is very much one of these. Luke even refers to her as a "wannabe queen" at one point. She mainly uses her influence for the benefit of her people or engaging in international diplomacy, to the point where she's already almost universally considered a much better ruler than her father, the king. The people, in fact, are so fond of her that they choose to protect her even after her lineage is revealed, i.e. that she is not a real member of the royal family. | |

Asseylum Vers Allusia of Aldnoah.Zero, princess of the Vers Empire of Mars, is introduced on a diplomatic mission to Earth, with whom her nation has been at uneasy peace since the inverse War of Earthly Aggression fifteen years ago. She's an All-Loving Hero who doesn't subscribe to the Empire's Cultural Posturing and doctrine of superiority, hoping instead to craft a more lasting peace between the planets. Unfortunately, an assassination attempt soon after she lands (by an extremist faction of the Martian nobility, no less) is seized by the Vers Orbital Knights as Pretext for War, kicking off the invasion of Earth. | |

Merlin: Lady Morgana (who is a princess in every other respect) spends the first season of the show constantly arguing with Uther about his treatment of those with magical abilities. A central part of Guinevere's Character Arc involves her gradually integrating herself into the politics of Camelot, and proving herself incredibly good at it. |

In The Royal Diaries none of the main characters are expected to participate in politics because they're all underage. Many of them will never be expected to be political since they're supposed to just be the wife or sister of the king. Those who defy expectations include Cleopatra VII: Daughter of the Nile who stands up for her father and country, in Latin, to General Pompey the Great, Kristina: The Girl King, and Elisabeth: The Princess Bride. | |
