Desiree Heslop (born 27 November 1961), best known as Princess, 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 hit 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 the U.S., before returning to England in 2003. She appeared in ITV's 2005 production Hit Me, Baby, One More Time.
