According to Wikipedia....which may not be reliable...prior to her marriage to George of Denmark the future Queen Anne was known as Her Highness The Lady Anne and after he marriage she was known as Her Royal Highness The Princess Anne of Denmark.
So I do find it odd she wasn't a princess prior to her marriage and after her marriage she was a princess.
She wasn’t *styled* as Princess but I would reckon that she was indeed a princess (the style of Highness also suggests this). The daughters of the King of France were similar styled ‘Madame’ but were, of course, princesses. There are also current examples of individuals who have the rank or title of prince(ss) but are not officially styled as such.
With respect to Anne’s Danish title, a woman generally took the feminine form of her husband’s title and style so it isn’t unusual to me at all. Previous Message
Modern custom? The wives of princes of Denmark are styled with their own given names these days, but today is not applicable to Anne’s time. It anything, it wasn’t always consistent.
