I think thats common in Punjab to say ‘Oay Shahzaday’.. also they say ‘yaar wo to shahzada hai / shahzadi hai’.

Is it used positively to praise someone’s charm or its veiled insult?

not very common...it's quite localized...mostly in Muslim dominated areas/cities like Lucknow, Aligarh, Allahabad, AzamgaRh, Gonda, Shahjahanpur, Amroha, BadayuN etc.
