I am not a parent. But I am a lesbian and it was always obvious - I hated dresses, wouldn't have anything pink, never grew out of that boys-are-icky stage. My parents, as open as they are, would force me to wear dresses and bought me barbies because that is what I should've wanted.
My brother who happily took all the barbies I wouldn't play with, wore my mom's high heels and purses whenever he could, grew his hair long, was always hetero. There is no doubt in his mind - he likes girls.
The stereotype of gender roles does not have to play a part in sexuality.
What matters is that you give him the space to be who he wants and let him be happy. If being a princess makes him happy, don't take that away from him.
