Okay, let's put aside the fact that Hasbro wanted Celestia to be princess because little girls were taught that queens were evil, blah blah blah....

This is just a theory, but I think -despite everything- Discord is still the ruler of Equestria, which is why Celestia is a princess and not a queen.

Think about it. In Warriors, when Nightstar became leader, he only received one life(if we count the life he already had) because Brokenstar was still alive, and therefore the legitament leader of Shadowclan. Same thing happened with Sunstar in Thunderclan when Pinestar went to live as a kittypet. He only recieved seven lives (again, not counting the life he already had)

If this is confusing, here's another example:

In Harry Potter, wands choose the wizard, right? So, unless a wand chooses a new master, it's loyalties lie with it's old wielder. Like when Voldemort took the Elder Wand, even though it was Draco's the moment he disarmed Dumbledore. That's why the wand never worked for Voldemort.
