Basic Trope: A princess who is a Tomboy.
- Straight: Princess Mary likes to wear casual clothes, and not be demure and proper all the time.
- Exaggerated:
- She wears jeans and her old Rocky Horror shirt as her regalia.
- She throws a breakdancing contest instead of a royal ball.
- Princess Mary is The Lad-ette, and the fact that she's a princess is met with surprise from the other characters.
- Downplayed: She still wears dresses, but simple frocks from department stores.
- Justified:
- Her parents want to change the perception of the royal family as modern, instead of out of touch, so they raise their children to not seem like stuffy relics.
- She dresses in jeans and a t-shirt to blend in with the crowd and avoid the Paparazzi, since then she doesn't look like a princess.
- Inverted: The palace has a casual Friday, but Mary still insists on wearing a Pimped-Out Dress.
- Gender Inverted:
- Harry is a prince who is a Sensitive Guy.
- Prince Harry likes to wear form fit tops and tunics, and shorts and pants, and has no attention to be average and prop.
- Despite being passionate about sewing and embrace his self-made wardrobe, and his own expression and comfort Prince Harry still remains having some noble tastes and streaks.
- Subverted: Mary walks around in jeans, but giddily accepts her parents giving her an evening dress and mink wrap to wear to the ball.
- Double Subverted: The ball is a costume party after all.
- Parodied: Mary agrees to wear a tiara and ermine-lined cape for her coronation, but only if they have the logo of her favorite Heavy Metal band on them.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: She acts like a proper princess, even if not an outright Princess Classic.
- Enforced: The animation studio really wants to do something other than a typical princess for this film.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Enemies at the court use Princess Mary's un-royal behavior and dress to insinuate she is not fit to be princess.
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
