What's the source of Paul being called "John's princess"?

I've seen 3 different sources of this:

Yoko said it to Philip Norman for his book "John Lennon: The Life"(2008):

"Around Apple, in her hearing, Paul would sometimes be called John’s Princess."

The other source is the book "Apple to the Core" (1972), written by two journalists (Peter McCabe and Robert Schonfeld) who knew the Beatles personally:

"With Yoko present, Paul McCartney’s reign as Lennon’s princess was doomed.”

And Francie Schwartz (who dated Paul briefly and was present at some Beatles studio sessions) wrote a 4-page article for Rolling Stone in 1969 that said this:

"John and Paul can shoot looks at each other and exchange thoughts. John, full of Da Vinci-esque chutzpah and Lewis Carroll whimsy and Joycean logic, projects authority, sovereignty. Can you dig that Paul is his princess?" (x)

what are you're favorite paul/george quotes?

“I’ve never known two people that love each other so much, and don’t even realize it.” – Eric Clapton

“ I believe Paul missed George as much as — if not more than — anybody.” – Eric clapton

“I got married in 1966 and Paul was my best man. He cancelled his holiday to do it. Then he got drunk and put a bow-and-arrow through the car window. But until then it was great.” – George

“I just know that whatever we’ve been through, there’s always been something there to tie us together” – George

‘The last time I met him, he was very sick and I held his hand for four hours. As I was doing it I was thinking “I’ve never held his hand before, ever. This is not what two Liverpool fellas do, no matter how well you know each other.” I kept thinking, “he’s going to smack me here.” But he didn’t. He just stroked my hand with his thumb and I thought “Ah, this is OK, this is life. It’s tough but it’s lovely. That’s how it is.” I knew George before I knew any of the others and I loved that man. I’m so proud to have known him.” - Paul

“Underneath it all, I believe that Paul sincerely loved George; and at some level George loved Paul as well. ” – Peter Dogett

“George told me once that I smelt like home. I got all paranoid, you know, thinking I smelt of fish and chip shops or dirty bars or something. But he said no, I just always smelt of home.” - Paul

“Paul is very protective of George.” – Bob Smeaton

“George was always known as the quiet one, but he had a wicked sense of humour. He and Paul tricked two fans into thinking that they were really brothers and George signed his name “George McCartney” for them.” - Denise Theophilus

““They used to jump on me. George used to wake me up by tickling my feet.” – Paul

“There was this guy called Ritter who was in our group at school, and George was in the younger group, and I remember we’d been standing around at playground and I’d tried to introduce George to Ritter, introduce him into my peer group. And being a year younger it was kind of difficult. I said, ‘Hey, this is George Harrison. He’s a mate of mine. We get on the same bus together.’ And we’d been sitting around, and George suddenly head-butted this friend of mine.When asked for the reason for the headbutt, George replied: ‘He wasn’t worthy of your friendship.” – Paul

Interviewer: Is matrimony in the immediate future for the two unmarried members of your group? Paul: Matrimony is not in the immediate future. George: Paul won’t have me.

“God, my mate George, isn’t he a good-looking boy!” - Paul

“Thing is, there’s a lot about me and George that the public don’t know about, and I like it better that way. That night was very personal, and very special to me. It’s one of my favourite memories.” – Paul

“I knew George long before the others. We were good chums despite his tender years as it seemed to me then. We were always together.” – Paul McCartney

“It used to be PaulnGeorge… as one word. They were the kids from the grammar school. That’s how we referred to them. For ages we didn’t even know George really, he was just ‘Paul’s mate’.” – Len Garry

“In Liverpool, Paul would come round my house and we’d play in the living room. Paul knocked me out with his singing especially, although I remember him being a little embarrassed to really sing out, seeing as we were stuck right in the middle of my parents place with my whole family walking about. He said he felt funny singing about love and stuff around my dad.” — George

 I think we have now grown old enough to realize that we’re both pretty damn cute!” - George 

“He was my little baby brother” - Paul

"It's only me": Compilation

"I wish you'd see it's only me. I love you." (1973)

"We were once having a right slagging session and I remember how he took off his granny glasses. I can still see him. He put them down and said, ‘It’s only me, Paul.’ Then he put them back on again, and we continued slagging…That phrase keeps coming back to me all the time. ‘It’s only me.’ It’s became a mantra in my mind." (1981)

"Like this furious argument we were having about Apple, really going tooth and nail. And I can remember him looking at me, pulling down his glasses and saying softly, "It's only me." That's how I prefer to remember it." (1983)

"I remember kind of arguing once about something musical or something, and I remember John kind of just taking his glasses down and saying, “It’s only me.” And putting them back up again." (1991)

"One of my great memories of John is from when we were having some argument. I was disagreeing and we were calling each other names. We let it settle for a second and then he lowered his glasses and he said: “It’s only me.” And then he put his glasses back on again. To me, that was John. Those were the moments when I actually saw him without the facade, the armour, which I loved as well, like anyone else." (1997)

"John and I were arguing about something and I was getting fairly heated. He just pulled his glasses down his nose and looked over the top and said, “It’s only me,” and then put them back again." (1997)

"I think through all of that stuff, there was always the John who would put down his glasses and he’d say: “It’s only me.” And that was it, I’d know what he meant! ‘Ya, it’s only Johnny! It’s only Lennon, he’s only having a laugh with us, it’s just a joke, really." (2001)

"Whatever bad things John said about me, he would also slip his glasses down to the end of his nose and say, 'I love you'. That's really what I hold on to. That's what I believe. The rest is showing off." (2009)

"We’d have an argument about something, and he’d say something particularly caustic; then I’d be a bit wounded, and he’d pull down his glasses and peer at me and say, ‘It’s only me, Paul.’ That was John. ‘It’s only me.’" (2021)

"If we had an argument about something, and I would get a bit hurt because he was being sort of mean, then he would take down his glasses and say, 'it's only me', and put them back." (2024)

"If an argument ever got heated, John would lower his glasses and he'd say 'It's only me. I'm still the same guy you loved in Liverpool. It's only me." (2026)

I get a pixie cut at 15 and my aunt goes around my grandmother's funeral telling everyone I'm a lesbian meanwhile John and Paul are moaning each other's names and calling their partnership a marriage and hyphenating their last names and calling their breakup a divorce and talking about how they want to spend all day in bed together and sharing a bed every night on tour and writing love songs about each other and the media calls McLennon 'a conspiracy' and makes Alec Baldwin recant
