Princess Royal is an abandoned town in the Goldfields–Esperance region in Western Australia.
It was named after a gold mine that was the basis for the town.
A rich gold reef was discovered in the area in the 1895 by a party of prospectors – Chester, Peddler and Flanagan.
Alluvial gold was later found in 1900 and a townsite was established to house the miners.
The town boasted four hotels in 1906, as well as a host of other businesses.
