In a constitutional monarchy, parliament does have all the real power, but it would still be fun to be a princess. They definitely live in a different world, and have a pretty nice life style, even if they can't go around beheading people any more.
All kidding aside, some of the royal princesses are excellent ambassadors for various worthy causes, and they lend both their names and their active support to promoting those causes.

I would not want to be a princess, personally. And yes, parliament had real power.
Now if was the old days and I could have someone hanged or beheaded, then we can talk.

A prince or princess, as child of the King or Queen is essentially powerless, as is the King/Queen, such as in Denmark, where for example in Denmark the Monarchy is purely traditional by birth. Denmark is a constitutional monarchy headed by Queen Margrethe II who performs only formal and ceremonial functions. Queen Margrethe II ascended the throne on 14 January, 1972 after the death of King Frederik IX. The Queen is the Head of State and represents Denmark abroad and heads the government but has no political power. The Danish succession used to go from father to the eldest son but if the king had no son, the throne would pass to another male heir. This provision was changed by an amendment to the Act of Succession in 1953 as King Frederik IX had no male heir. Queen Margrethe II is the first woman to become Denmark's sovereign by law as the eldest daughter of King Frederik IX.
Executive power is vested in the Government which consists of all ministers under the leadership of the Prime Minister. The Government is appointed on the basis of a parliamentary decision. The legislative and executive authorities are vested in the monarch who acts through a cabinet of ministers, headed by the prime minister, responsible to the Parliament. Although the Parliament has a maximum term of 4 years, elections are generally called more frequently. Coalition governments have predominated since 1945, the prime minister usually being chosen from the party with the most seats in the Parliament.

Princesses' parliament duties
4th October 2006 14:00:02
Princess Mary of Denmark and Princess Victoria of Sweden both attended the openings of their country's parliaments yesterday (03.10.06).
Both the European princesses are hugely popular and looked fittingly glamorous to fulfil their formal duties.
Princess Mary accompanied her husband Crown Prince Frederik to the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen wearing a fitted cream coat, a taupe hat and drop pearl earrings.
The couple's son, Prince Christian, celebrates his first birthday next week.
Mary's mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe, appeared in good spirits as she chatted to her son at the opening which is traditionally held on the second Tuesday in October.
Meanwhile, Princess Victoria, 29, attended the opening of parliament in Stockholm with her parents King Carl Gustaf and his wife Queen Silvia.
Victoria, the king's eldest child, was dressed in an elegant black ensemble and wore a straw hat.

Princesses never had much power anyway. The attraction of the life is the number of people who bow and scrape to you and the easy life with plenty of servants and no worries about paying for anything.

Only the intellectually challenged or the Aristocracy want the Monarchy in any case.

I do not want to be a princess. I want to be queen. I want to ban parliament. Never going to happen though.

You still have the power to influence people - by being seen and heard. If you are hopefully respected then you can definitely have a certain power to change certain aspects of society for the better.
