Whilst an alicorn is always necessarily a princess (do you even get male alicorns?), that does not mean that they reign as a princess. I get the impression that Cadence was in basically the same situation as Twilight is in currently until the Crystal Empire suddenly re-appeared and, in one of those coincidences that is startlingly common in this sort of show, she turned out to be connected to the Crystal Heart and the natural heir of the Empire.

I wonder if, ultimately, something like that will happen for Twilight. I wonder if the contents of the Box may be the catalyst of it happening.
