From the artist:

"Your a QUEEN! Queen it Up Bitch! You don't all have to look like Elizabeth the second you can still be pretty but take some responsibly and MOVE FORWARD! the Ponys will respect you for it."

Man's got a point.

Pointless Princess Syndrome is a pretty serious and frequent flaw in shows geared towards young girls.

She had to take the title of a princess because then even MORE ponies will think she's a tyrant!

whoever drew this should be ashamed of his/herself once people stop paying attention to this unfunny dip. hell, what am i saying, the individual in question should feel ashamed NOW.

Funnily enough, she was originally supposed to be a queen, but Hasbro execs told the writers Celestia had to be a princess instead.

For some reason, they think that all girls, from seeing Disney movies and such, believe princesses = good and queens = evil.

I believe that the in-universe reason she prefers the title "Princess" is because she wants to be seen as equal with her sister, even while she's "indisposed", and it makes no sense to have two Queens.

Princess Celestia queening it up? That's an odd thought.

*insert image of Celestia with gaudy dress, feather boa, overdone makeup, and high heels despite her not having heels*

my roundabout reasoning for her being princess: Equestria, a Principality, was set up through a strange artifact of the system, where when luna took over for the night, the ruling sister would be given the title of "Grand Princess" while the other one would be temporarily demoted to "high princess" until it was time for the thrones to change.

When luna was banished as nightmare moon, Celestia could have taken both thrones for herself formally and become Queen, but she decided not to out of respect.

^This
There is also the possibility that Celestia fears that naming herself Queen would also lead to the temptation to become a tyrant, declaring herself as 'Queen of Everything' instead of just Queen of Equestria.

@Gezora This trope would be to blame.

That's probably the best excuse I could imagine for a scenario like this. It would fit Celestia's character, at least.

@323461
That's not some random douchebag. That's the Nostalgia Critic, one of the funniest douchebags on the internet.

Just so you know.

Celestia is a Princess because Hasbro wanted to follow the "Disney rule". This I already know. But I didn't expect to see other folks here theorize possible in-universe reasons as to why Celestia would be called a Princess rather than a Queen. It's quite the pleasant surprise.

I love the Disney rule. If every queen is evil then either there's a billion principalities in the Disney universe or most Disney heroines eagerly jump at the chance to be the next evil queen.

As to number of titles.... Heh. Never thought of that. Maybe she's like the Pope and has a zillion official titles she never uses, instead using one that's not on the list. Queen of Equestria, Duchess of Canterlot, Supreme Episcopus of the Church of the Sun, Imperatrix of all Ponykind, Empyreus Aeterna....

There's another reason for this.

Perhaps there is peace on the planet Equestria is on. Think about it: If the various sapient fantasy races are no longer at war, there could very well be a High King for the entire planet.

Therefore, Equestria is ruled by a Princess, the Dragon Citadel by a Prince, etc., etc.

Support for this: Uhhh, well, none really, other than if there was no higher ruling government, I couldn't see why more aggressive fantasy races (such as, I dunno, DRAGONS) don't move in en masse to Equestria, where the weather always rocks, and there's gemstones fucking everywhere.

Also, it could explain how even though Celestia is monarch of Equestria, she carries out a function that is vital to the planet (raising Sun). The other Princes/Princesses have a similar, and vital function, such as... the Dragon Prince puts minerals in the soil over the planet, the Undine Princess controls the currents, the Seelie court controls all things Summer, and the Unseelie court all things Winter (and are pissed off at the Ponies for mucking about with the weather)...

I feel a fic coming on...

Putting aside word of god and the Princess Syndrome, I have a different pet theory.

Celestia may be making a conscious choice of titles in a vein similar to Cesar Augustus/Octavian. The use of princeps (prince/first citizen) instead of rex (king) is usually because it is to stress the implication that all other persons/subjects are citizens and not slaves. Rex is closely associated and paired with dominus (lord/master), ie king-dom, and so is a title that is easily synonymous with tyrant.

She may be a powerful, immortal sun goddess; she may take executive and organizational decisions on behalf of her charges and the commonweal; but it seems that she prefers not to be (or just not to be seen as being) a tyrannical overlord.

Perhaps there is a more decentralized system of government utilizing a Senate and its trainee program, (inserting bizarrely appropriate history pun) the Equestrian Order.
