1) Prince Blueblood is not a princess.

2) Aside from him, all of the royals are female.

3) I don't think Celestia and Luna have any actual blood descendants. It is possible that Blueblood is the son of Luna, but if he were the son of a guard, he would not be as pompous as Upper Crust and the rest of the elite.

So it seems more likely that the likes of Fancypants fill that particular role, not the Royal Guard.

(And Shining Armor is the captain of the guard. He was probably a noble already by the time of the wedding.)
