Possible. I have to agree that I'm not bothered by Cadence being an Alicorn. Like you said, it was never stated that Celestia and Luna are the only two currently in existence. Alicorns are clearly the rarest type of pony by far, and so far are restricted to the royal bloodline. I don't think that a princess need be an Alicorn, although you may be right; they may have decided, based upon the association, that she should be. I also don't necessarily believe that Alicorns exist *solely* within the royal family, although thus far we have no evidence to the contrary...and outside of it, if there currently are any, they are obviously very, very rare indeed.
