To make a Changeling Princess(headcanon)

Normal changelings are born by the queen mating with a fertile male during her heat season and birthing mounds and mounds of eggs, most ending up being either drones or soldiers. However, a changeling princess is not born by acts of random chance or fate. No, a changeling princess is born through practiced methods and traditions, resulting in a live birth. The queen has a small group of soldiers find a strong stallion using a list of desirable traits and features she would like and report back to her with the information necessary. Then, she goes in as one he loves puts her spell upon him allowing her to have near complete control of him and takes him back to the hive. Finally, they mate and upon it's completion the stallion is drained until they die. This means that most changeling princesses within a hive are born from different fathers. One of the only exceptions is if the queen gives birth to twins.

The eggs take about seven weeks to hatch, but when the queen is pregnant with a princess she takes around sixty-four weeks to go into labor.
