Erm, what's with the princess mistake? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Upon searching the net for LotR news and such, I've come across many,many articles. They have only one thing in common: they all call Arwen a princess. What the heck is with that? Elrond is LORD of Imladris. Not King, not Prince, Lord, and yet people insist on calling his daughter a princess. Even more annoying is when fanfic writers (who are SUPPOSED to know better) call her royalty. Can someone explain to me why people blindly charge on and call Arwen Your Highness?<p>[ October 29, 2002: Message edited by: Losthuniel ]
