While technically a Princess through marriage to the Prince of Wales, Camilla used a different, less prominent title to honor Diana's legacy, later becoming Queen Consort when Charles ascended the throne.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (then Countess of Wessex), did not attend Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, reportedly choosing not to go because her strong physical resemblance to Diana would have been too distressing for the public, a decision supported by the Royal Family. At the time, she was dating Prince Edward, but wasn't yet married or engaged, and her resemblance to Diana, particularly with a similar short blonde hairstyle, was often noted, making her presence potentially upsetting for mourners.

All British royal family members, including those with His/Her Royal Highness (HRH) titles like Princess Kate, are known to bow (for men) or curtsy (for women) to the King and Queen when they greet them.

Meghan isn't a princess because royal protocol reserves the "Princess" title (e.g., Princess Catherine) for women born into the royal family, not those who marry into it, though they technically hold the lesser title of Princess of the UK (like Princess Henry of Wales) but use their higher ducal title (Duchess of Sussex). Kate is also not called "Princess Kate," but "Princess of Wales" (after marrying the future King's heir), as she uses her husband's higher ducal title (Duchess of Cambridge), and Meghan uses "Duchess of Sussex". Both technically are princesses by marriage but are styled as Duchesses, with blood-born royals (like Princess Charlotte) being the ones who can use their first name with the title.
