The wife of a Russian Tsar (or Czar, if you will) is Tsaritsa. In Russian language and pronunciation it's spelled and pronounced "Tsaritsa" (Öàðèöà), in Enlish for some reason unknown to me it's pronounced "Tsarina". But both words mean the same thing.

The son of a tsar is a "tsarevich" (öàðåâè÷)...

The daughter of a tsar is "tsarevna" (öàðåâíà).

A prince in Russian is a "Knyaz'" (êíÿçü)...

A princess is a "knyaginya" (êíÿãèíèÿ).

(You'll have to set your encoding in your browser's 'View' pulldown to "Cyrillic-Windows" to be able to view the Russian in Cyrillic Russian text).
