My guess is that Twilight will be tutoring the CMCs, either officially or as a favour to Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash. Somehow, this gets conflated to their being "The personal students of Princess Twilight Sparkle".

At first the CMCs are embarrassed and try to straighten out the misunderstanding. However, because they keep on getting free stuff and the best seats at the cafe and the like (because seeing one of the Princesss's personal students shopping at your store or dining at your cafe is a great free endorsement and worth lots of extra sales), they get to like it. It turns their heads and makes them start acting a bit like Diamond Tiara (pushy and arrogant). They start abusing it, using Twilight's name and position to get their own way.

Naturally, it will all fall apart big time and Twilight will probably have to sort out a lot of bad feeling amongst aggrieved ponies.
