Princess (born Desiree Heslop, 27 November 1961) is a British singer who found chart success in the mid 1980s. In the late 1970s she worked with the group Osibisa.
Her first solo album Princess (1986) was composed and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman which contained the single, "Say I'm Your Number One".
Heslop recorded her second album, All For Love (1987) in the United States and in 1989, she released the stand-alone single "Lover Don't Go", which failed to chart.
From 1991 to 2003 she lived in U.S., returning to England in 2003. She appeared in ITV's 2005 production Hit Me Baby One More Time.
