Words that rhyme with Princess
From a sound-design view, princess is a workaday word on the centred /ษ/, two-syllable, and it softens into a fricative tail. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. The vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the strict-rhyme column is bare. Search rhymes for princess long enough and you notice the pattern: the pull is toward slant work. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why princess rhymes the way it does
The phonology of princess is a two-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 33, assonance 12,253, and consonance 2. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Princess reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
