Well, she is not the daughter of a king, as the Netherlands at the moment have a reigning Queen, her father is just prince-consort.
Or was this a reference to something else?

It's a reference to something else, but I also did the error of not checking the sex of the newborn.

I believe you were shooting for the line by Mel Brooks as Friar Tuckman "It's good to be the King." from Robin Hood, Men in Tights. Was also in other movies, I just can't remember which ones.

"History of the World: Part One" would be the first usage if I recall correctly.
