Both the name and picture suggest that 'Princess Michael' is one of those 'born a man, got his wings clipped, became a her' type of 'woman'.

Princess Michael takes her name from her husband. Since he is not an immediate member of the Monarch's family nor in direct decent from the Monarch his wife can not be a princesses with her own name. If his name is Prince Keith she is Princess Keith. All of the above is a rather hazy memory of a history course discussing British and French titles.
