That hasn't stopped the Habsburgs. Also Naboo is fine.

The Austria they were in charge of doesn't. Nor do most of the other countries they ruled.

There's a difference between the political entity you used to be the monarch of dissolved and the actual physical place being blasted into pieces and sunk beneath the waves There's really not a lot you can do about the latter, even with massive popular support

I presume Leia formally surrendered the title of Princess and dissolved the Alderaan monarchy to foreclose the path of declaring some other place "New Alderaan" and colonizing it Which is likely totally viable but would turn her into everything she hates

If your homeland is demolished, you probably do retain whatever courtesy titles you had, as a gesture of respect.

When England finally sinks beneath the waves, it will probably make me MORE likely to address the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by their titles.

Well if they're in Canada and everyone else is in England when it happens they'd become the King and Queen Consort

Anyway it isn't clear whether not calling herself "Princess" anymore is the result of some kind of formal decision or just personal preference but it clearly means something different in-universe than the out-of-universe "She's a GENERAL not a PRINCESS" thing

I have had a lot of fun pointing out that if we use any rank structure that actually exists in reality then Poe gets promoted in TLJ.
