The Politically-Active Princess is a princess who handles her position in a unique way. More often than not, she takes an 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 guiles 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 or a Badass Princess at the same time.

This trope contrasts the Princess Classic, where the royal in question is characterized by her saintly virtues rather than her actions. 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 females... not so much. A Politically-Active Princess may also be a Rebellious Princess or a Spirited Young Lady. A subtrope of Royals Who Actually Do Something. Related to Silk Hiding Steel. Compare Princesses Rule.
