I think that such a Kingdom is an entirely abstract one. It wouldn't make sense for  Twilifght to suddenly have land and subjects set aside for her.. It is a kingdom iin the same way that Princess is her title, both are indications of rank. amd purpose.

Almost all the other Princess have some kind of domain, whether it is the day or night, love or friendship. I thought You'll Play Your Part did a good job of indicating such a thing, and Twilight discovery of her castle at the end of Part 2, brought a conclusion to that particular plotline. Her domain is friendship,

Since her domain is an abstract concept, akin to an order of some kind, it makes sense it to be a proper noun, as the name of the order. It isn't a kingdom in a literal sense, since there is no space or land, or subjects it is attached to so it wouldn't be called a kingdom, but it is named a Kingdom, due to it's affiliation with Twilight's domain, which is independent of land. She is very much a prophet, spreading friendship to others. and since friendship is her domain, it isn't much of a stretch to name it as Kingdom.

It's a really neat little swap.

Take Order of Friendship, think of Order used in the sense of a name of society, substitute Kingdom for Order, due to Twilight's Princess status, as the defacto head of the order, and voila, Kingdom of Friendship.
