Northern European screen princess (6)

I believe the answer is:

scandi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'princess' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'northern european screen' is the wordplay.
'northern european' becomes 'scand' (I've seen this in another clue).
'screen' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'scand'+'i'='SCANDI'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
