Yes, a prince's daughter is usually a princess, but it depends on the specific royal family's rules, especially in the UK where titles often pass through the male line, meaning a princess's daughter might not automatically become a princess, unlike a prince's daughter who is a direct grandchild of the monarch. The reigning monarch ultimately decides, and in the UK, children of a monarch's sons are usually princes/princesses, but children of a monarch's daughters (like Princess Anne's) typically aren't, though this has seen adjustments, like for Prince William's children.
Princess is a title used by a female member of a regnant monarch's family or by a female ruler of a principality. The male equivalent is a prince (from Latin princeps, meaning principal citizen). Most often, the term has been used for the consort of a prince, or for the daughter of a monarch.

Princess Beatrice's daughter, Sienna, isn't a British Princess because titles aren't automatically passed to grandchildren of the monarch's daughters, but she is an Italian Countess and Noblewoman (Nobile Donna) through her father, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, a descendant of Italian aristocracy, giving her an aristocratic title, just not a British royal one. British titles usually follow the male line, so while Beatrice and Eugenie are Princesses as daughters of Prince Andrew, their children don't automatically get titles unless the sovereign grants them, which isn't the case here.

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.
