Explanation:
The princess who showed up at the prince's door does not look like a princess at all. The stereotypical image of a princess is pristine, flawless. This one is soaking wet, her hair and clothes most likely unkempt and dirty. However, this look is quite deceiving. Even though she does not look like one, she is indeed a real princess. That is what the queen finds out after having her sleep on top of twenty mattresses and twenty eider-beds. Princesses are sensitive, and this one is so much so that she was able to feel the lump of a pea that was under all those mattresses and eider-beds.
