Hi Angel, it's:

天使 (tian1shi3)

Translates literally as "heavenly ambassador".

Princess in Chinese is 公主 (gong1 zhu3). In Chinese, "princess" comes after the name, e.g. Princess Diana would be "Diana 公主". So Princess Angel would be "天使公主". :)

Interestingly, in Chinese, Snow White is referred to as
"Princess Snow White". 白雪公主 báixuě gōngzhǔ

Of course we know she is, it is that the Chinese add the royal title to her name and we simply assume the title.
