You know even though Lauren said she'd succeed Celestia (and that in all honesty was kind of forseeable) the reason it's going to be hard to pull off convincingly now is for these reasons:

1. The Faust cannon still dictates that only 2 alicorns exist. There are 4 now, one who was turned into one by magic (uhh). If Twilight took Celestia's place and Celestia vanished or Twilight just took the position without being an alicorn, then it would be fine, or at least more tolerable

2. Successor doesn't really limit her to be just a princess;  she could still pursue the magic dream and what not. She would just have to use it to protect people.

3. Even if all these things could be pulled off, now it'll make it hard since it was done a whole season before a possible series finale!! Thing's like this don't generally work all too well for something lasting more than a season longer than needed; and knowing this show, there's probably 2 more seasons before the finale.
