By marriage

Women become princesses by marriage, but only use that title if their husband is the Prince of Wales (e.g. Catherine, Princess of Wales) or if they take their husband's full name (last done by Princess Michael of Kent in 1978). Most women use a peerage derived from their husband, such as Duchess or Countess. Men cannot become princes by marriage.
