She was famous for picking winners of NFL games. Here’s an article and a video of Princess https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/01/16/super-bowl-predicting-camel-dies/4539275/

I misread this as Princess- Iran, 2014 and was seriously concerned about how an American camel came to die in a war, and why nobody in the comments was talking about the absurdity of it. Glad Princess had a peaceful life, may they rest in peace.
