Maybe it's just me, a republican living in a monarchy, that doesn't get it!

It says this on the website
"Let's go back to the beginning. Born in the Druze Mountains of Syria, Madiha's mother was of the Awabdi family, originally a royal family in Syria. In the 1800s, the Atrish and Awabdi families were engaged in a deadly power struggle. When Madiha's grandfather, Halil Awabdi, the reigning prince, lost his life in that struggle, the family lost all their power and wealth. Her mother later married into a farming family. In memory of their heritage, both she and Madiha are entitled to retain the title of "Princess"."
