答案

在这里,这一句可以理解为倒装,但其实它是一个 there be 句型,有时为了理解的方便,我们常把 there be 句型理解为（时间或空间的）“有” ,如：
There is a tree in front of the house.= 房子前面有棵树；
There are some words on the biackboard.= 黑板上有几个字；
There was a meeting yesterday.= 昨天有个会议；
There were some meetings yesterday.= 昨天有好几个会；
这样,there was even a princess ...就可理解为：甚至有一位公主···；
...who gave him ...,是定语从句,限定修饰 a princess 的；
原句的意思是：甚至有一位公主不时地给他一点穿衣吃饭的钱.
