I'm right behind you on the weakness of princesses, but Ozma is, umm, constantly referred to as a princess. (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22princess+ozma%22&btnG=Search+Books&tbs=bks:1&tbo=1#q=%22princess+ozma%22&hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=bks:1&ei=xIwaTcbgNY66sAPi2-ytAg&start=10&sa=N&fp=1a1a8ce92fba2198) Maybe that's why she's often rather incompetent?*
Lucy and Susan Pevensie go straight to being queens, though, as I recall. No halfway point of princess for them.
* I didn't always think of her this way, but Mari Ness' series at Tor.com has made me see her in an entirely different light.
