Princess Victoria can mean:

Princesses

Princess Victoria and/or Princess Viktoria is the name of several princesses. The name came into wide-spread use among royal families during the reign of Queen Victoria, who requested that Victoria be among the names of all of her female grandchildren (even though her real first name was actually Alexandrina) and Albert, after her beloved consort, for her male grandchildren. Of Victoria's granddaughters, 17 (of 22) had 'Victoria' somewhere in their given names, although only five of these used it as their first name.
