If you mean Mary of Teck, later Queen Mary, Edward's mother then yes.
However she was married to George V who was Prince of Wales from 1901-10 as his consort, she was not Princess of Wales in her own right. What I was tyring to say was that even when it was likely that a female would inherit the throne, that female does not become Princess of Wales in her own right. The title Prince of Wales is always given to the eldest son of the reigning Monarch, never to a daughter.
This could be interesting in the future, however, if a male is born to say William and Kate but is younger than an elder female of theirs. His sister would now precede him in the line of succession but would still not, as far as I am aware, be able to deny him that title.

Actually I think she meant Mary Tudor.

Mary Tudor was never Princess of Wales.
She is a classic example of how male preference primogeniture worked, however. She was the eldest legitimate child of Henry VIII who wanted a son so he kept on trying with different wives until he got one, Edward, by his third wife, having produced another daughter, Elizabeth, by his second wife. It was Edward who was Prince of Wales and first in line, not his elder sisters who would have been displaced had he lived to marry and have children of his own.

Wasn't Prince Philip originally a Prince of Greece?
I am almost certain that he had to give up his place in the Greek succession before marrying the then Princess Elizabeth, only becoming a Prince again, this time of Britain, when she was Queen and made him so some years after her accession.
