hang on, unless I watched it wrong, I thought Missandei was talking to Dany when she said that her translation of prince/princess was wrong. I assumed Melisandre knew that the title was gender neutral and that it could be either Dany or Jon or a both of them.

they've shown Dany struggling a bit with her multilingualism in the past, like when Missandei was correcting her Dothraki. her high Valyrian is probably very good, but it's not used nearly as much as the common tongue, which I assume is still her first language.
