The daughter of the queen of Naboo who never met her mom and who never exercised that title at all.
Also, it's clear that a princess on Alderaan is nothing but a title. Bail was the leader of the planet and apparently a pretty democratic figure. The royalty titles seem more decorative to me than you make them sound.
And Leia wasn't even the leader of the Rebel Alliance. Mon Mothma was clearly above her in RotJ, and she was no queen/empress/princess.
So yeah, Leia is quite the opposite of authoritarian (always a negative term).
and if you want to get down to it, the Queen of Naboo was also an elected position, which had term limits. Though the title was queen, she was more of a President/Prime Minister than anything else.
