It wasn't being 'not really royal', it was 'not reigning' - i.e. not ruling over a country. Cadence didn't rule over anypony before the Crystal Empire came back and, similarly, Twilight doesn't seem to be automatically the ruler of anything at the moment, unless Celestia and Luna should vanish again.
