lucy gets extremely offended by being called princess, in any context
in narnia, being called ‘princess’ by potential suitors and visiting dignitaries leads to her ignoring them and continues with whatever she was doing, be it reading a book, signing papers, eating her breakfast, or taking a walk. her siblings find it incredibly amusing, and do nothing to dissuade others from doing so. they leave it up to them to discover what they did wrong.
( its not until they call her princess and get ignored, only to hear her respond to someone call her queen do they understand. lucy won’t stand for being treated as less than she is )
in england, the first boy who calls her ‘princess’ gets decked, knocked flat on the ground. when questioned indignantly by her victim, her response is ‘i’m not a princess, i am a queen. treat me as such’ in her ‘narnian queen’; voice.
( her father calls her ‘his little princess,’ as she is his youngest, and while she smarts under the name, she never lets him know. but one day, someone ( probably susan ) pulls him aside and tells him lucy thinks herself better than ‘princess.’ he starts to call her his little queen soon afterwards, and lucy smiles are brighter )
