No. Sophie was born a Princess of Bavaria, became a Duchess in Bavaria, and is now Hereditary Princess von und zu Liechtenstein.
The Princess of the UK bit I imagine comes from the Stuart/Jacobite line of succession to the British Throne. The "Representative and heir of King Charles I of England" is today Duke Franz of Bavaria, Head of the House of Wittelsbach. He is unmarried, so the Jacobite claim will pass to his brother, Duke Max in Bavaria. Duke Max has five daughters, the eldest being Princess Sophie, so she will inherit the claim in due course. It will then pass to her and Alois' eldest son, Prince Josef Wenzel, who will one day be the reigning Prince of Liechtenstein as well as the Jacobite claimant to the British Crown.
