While we personally believe that there's no room for uncertainty when it comes to royal kidnappings, we suppose it's appropriate in the case of Mediatonic's recently announced PSP Mini, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess. Keep it straight -- there's no doubt whether a princess has been stolen. She definitely has. The parenthetical modifier in the middle of that title is referring to the Monsters, who may or may not have stolen said Princess. Even without any prior knowledge of the heist, we'd bet they were somehow involved.
We digress! In M(P)SMP, you play as The Duke, who reacts unfavorably to the disappearance of his beloved princess, and begins pummeling random monsters in an attempt to rescue said heiress. We expect monster sympathizers worldwide to get their dander up when this one launches on the PSN sometime in February.

I don't see how that implies that she was "stolen" at all; just that she's gone missing.
The princess was (probably) betrothed to the Duke, who she (probably) didn't even like. One day, the princess (probably) saw a talking frog in the pond behind the castle, (probably) kissed that frog, (probably) fell in love, and is (probably) living a happy life without the (probably) annoying Duke, (probably) in some far-away kingdom (probably) with her new-found prince.

You're sort of missing the point of the game's story. Which isn't your fault, this was a terrible preview, also missing the point of the game's story.
The Duke in question happens to be some sort of demon (looks more like a vampire, actually, indeed, probably a play on Count Dracula), and he simply jumps to the conclusion that someone stole his princess and proceeds to beat up monsters looking for her. Even though as you say, the only evidence is that she is missing, not that she was stolen.
It's meant to be a funny game, indeed, it looks like something from NIS almost
