“女神經和女神之間的差距，就差一個公主病。” 湖南衛視《花兒與少年》第二季播出后，“公主病”這個詞再度被大家討論。在節目中，45歲的“女神”許晴，以純天然無添加的嬌嗲柔弱氣質，震碎了一幫女漢子們的三觀。有網友為許晴，發明了第13星座“許晴座”。

Princess sickness (or princess syndrome; princess disease) is a term to describe a psychological phenomenon affecting young women, especially teenagers, and can be characterized by numerous physiological disorders, including narcissistic personality disorder, egocentrism and histrionic personality disorder, consequently resulting in individuals acting like or believing that they are "princesses".
