Who is Princess of South Korea?

Published in Korean Royalty 1 min read

The question "Who is Princess of South Korea?" is a bit misleading, as South Korea is a republic and does not currently have a monarchy or a reigning princess. However, if we interpret the question to mean who was a princess of Korea in its history, then we can look at Princess Deokhye.

According to the provided reference:

  • Princess Deokhye (덕혜옹주) was born on May 25, 1912.
  • She was the daughter of Emperor Emeritus Gojong and Yang Gwiin (later Lady Boknyeong).
  • Her birth occurred nearly two years after the Japanese annexation of Korea.

Therefore, although there is no princess of the current South Korea, Princess Deokhye can be considered a historical princess from the Korean peninsula.
