I think it says somewhere that female dwarves are few and hard to find. They supposedly also have beards, like male dwarves (or am I thinking D&D?), so outsiders often have a hard time telling them apart.

Galadriel was originally of noble descent from the Noldor and Teleri elves of Aman. hear grandfather on her mother's side was Olwë, king of the Teleri who completed the journey to Aman, and her grandfather on her fathers side was Finwë, king of the Noldor and also the father of Fëanor.
(the family trees of Silmarillion)

She was counted a princess, but as Red stated: She was only guardian of the realm of the woodland Elves. She had no desire of taking the title as queen. Probably because she was not of their kin.

This actually shows us her character when it comes to the choice of power. Already as early as this, she refused to take power, like she did when Frodo offered her the One Ring...
