What I meant was, in the US, when people refer to a woman as a "princess" it is not meant as a compliment - that the woman has an attitude, they think she is spoiled, etc.

It can mean that Lady Jean. However, not all Americans believe that calling someone a Princess is a negative thing. For instance, my father has been calling me that for years and it isn't meant to be the least bit negative.
Sometimes, in the US women are called Princesses because they are seen as being regal, poised, sophisticated, precious, etc. I actually know a woman whose husband calls her, "Duchess" because of an air that she possesses. It doesn't always mean that a woman is being referred to as a spoiled tyrant who throws hissy fits.
