Absolutely nothing. The idea of kings, queens, princes and princesses is an entirely European one and has nothing to do with any native American culture.

The Cherokee term ugvwiyuuwetsiati literally means "daughter of a chief", from ugvwiyuhi "chief" and uwetsiageyv "daughter". Such a daughter would have none of the "royal authority" associated with a princess.
