Representative James J. Rolliver
Princess Lili Estradina is Raymond de Chelles’s cousin and one of Undine Spragg’s friends Like Raymond, the Princess represents the glamor of European aristocracy, but she also highlights how European nobles often fail to live up to their lofty titles. She is older than she looks, and her unglamorous outfits frequently clash with her title, suggesting that a title alone is not enough to transform a person and that the old aristocratic traditions are becoming obsolete in the modern world.

Quotes
The Princess and her mother, in their different ways, were different from any one else she had known. The Princess, who might have been of any age between twenty and forty, had a small triangular face with caressing impudent eyes, a smile like a silent whistle and the gait of a baker’s boy balancing his basket. She wore either baggy shabby clothes like a man’s, or rich draperies that looked as if they had been rained on; and she seemed equally at ease in either style of dress, and carelessly unconscious of both.
