The narrative centers on heteronormative romantic entanglements between the protagonist, the Princess, and her daughter. No explicit queer subtext or non-cisnormative identities are present.

The Princess de Bormes displays significant agency by managing a convoy and villa during a national crisis. However, the plot remains anchored to the romantic pursuit of a male lead.

Set in a First World War French context, the story focuses on a homogeneous European social stratum. There is a lack of racial intersectionality within the primary character arcs.

The film critiques the stability of class and lineage through its central theme of imposture. It deconstructs traditional social orders and the myth of heroic war narratives.

No specific characters are shown navigating physical or neurodivergent disabilities. The presence of wounded soldiers provides a backdrop of physical trauma common to war films.
