Princesses and Charm (Tip)

It got to the point where I just have them get married.

I never seemed to see my diplomats gain skill for gifting so wasnt sure.

Will have toi try this again.

I've been trying the opposite by gifting the princess of another faction as my king and heir are married but getting close to 60, hoping to have a 5 charm princess when a new heir/king comes about. But so far no raise in charm.

Maybe once the charm reaches aceartin level you need to use bigger gifts?

I think the OP's suggestion is flawed.
From my own tests, you only ever get diplomatic skills if you have a successful negotiation without a single fail (if you fail once, even if its a just rejected, you have a chance of losing ALL diplomatic/charm points at once)

Therefore, if you exchange map info every turn or trade 100 florins for 100 florins (or maybe give a few more), you will get diplomatic skill/charm, but not if you just gift them stuff.

I'm a n00b here...but...why is charm important to princesses and why is it important to marry your prince to a charmed princess?

If your princess sux then he gets the "Wife is a Wretch" trait that can trigger off a lot of other bad traits and ancilliaries (Adultress, drinking, girls, boys, gambling).

I'll have to look into this, I'm hoping to get a nice high charm Princess so I can steal away some uber foreign family member to use against his former masters.

I have to correct myself: this way of raising charm seems to work only on the very first princess a faction gets at the beginning of the game. From that point on: it seems, new princesses can do whatever they want - the only stat change they get is reduction of charm... Seems bugged one way or another.
