nope, Lauren Faust said that she is a princess because Disney made a stereotype about queens being evil |

Technically, "prince" and "princess" are generic titles for sovereign monarchs. They come from the Latin "princeps," meaning "first," and the early Roman emperors called themselves princes to establish that they were merely first among equals. Other titles, like "king" and "empra," were once used to establish a hierarchy among sovereigns, but nowadays they're almost entirely aesthetic. |

Actually isn't Celestia the equivalent of God Empress? |

Maybe Equestria is a principality? |

I just figured that, in Equestrian mores, 'Prince/Princess' was a generic title indicating noble blood. Otherwise, Rarity's date from the Gala is of equal rank to the two pictured above. (Princesses Celestia and Luna avoid more explicit titles for different reasons: Celestia does it as an attempt to avoid the groveling, while Luna is atoning for her actions prior to the 1000-year exile, among other things.)
That, or it just means that the pony in question is in line for the throne. *Shudders at thought of Blueblood with a crown* |

^ This since a number of Royals in real life have dozens of titles and often just pick the one they like |

If there will be a Russian/Ukrainian/Eastern European dub, the Princesses will probably re-titled as Knyagynias, the old term for slavic female rulers (well, wives of rulers most of the time, but still), the closest accurate English translation being a sort of super version of a Duchess with the Royalty mixed in. |

And the equivalent of "OP" is "a faggot", oh wait... |

She overthrew the former self-styled ruler of the land (Discord) to establish a populist despotism.
Obviously it's the equivalent of Premier. |
