Take a deep breath and here I go:

Is this the Prince and Princess of Birra Bonga - why?

More in a lack of hope than expectation.

If not, maybe it's something like

Is this the Prince and Princess of Birra Bonga-Loo?

It depends on whether that's a hyphen or a dash between the last two words. They're not the same thing.

Yes, it's a bit ambiguous so I'm assuming it could be either.

Both of you are almost correct. Only one word is totally wrong in both sentences.

What a very strange sentence! It must be "Is this the prince and princess of Birra Bonga-Woo", but where on earth does it come from? (And where do the royal children come from too! "Birra Bonga-Woo" must be the strangest place EB ever thought up!)
