"Toots" (where the "oo" is pronounced like it is in the word
"book") is a slang nickname for a woman. So, a hardboiled
gumshoe in a 'forties movie might say to a woman next to him,
"Hey, Toots, can you spare a light?" I'm guessing the Princess
is "Toots", and any "betrayal" is more of a gentle, joking kind.
