Prinsuz (hard S; short "u" as in "up")
Prinsess ( hard S; short "e" as in "help" )
Prinsessuz (hard S; short e; short "u") |

The stress goes like this:
PRINCE (all equal, one syllable)
PRINces (two syllables)
PRINcess or prinCESS (two syllables and two ways of saying it)
prinCESSes (three syllables)
Hope you're good at your "ssss" sounds
