Asking the prince outright calls for a certain independence of mind that, 
say, Rider Ulkra doesn't have.

There are two meanings of "princess". One is the common "rich little spoiled 
brat" and the other is the woman wise in the ways of courts and politics. 
Yes, of course she's always thought like a "princess" in the first sense of 
the word. What Ingrey means is, I think, the second. In a word, she's 
starting to move from Marie Antoinette to Elizabeth Tudor.
