For one thing a completey different staff is writing the show now, so one is going to have a of change in writing style in character. Season 1 had more Faust influence involved with it, whereas Season 2 and 3 had Faust pretty much gone.

Another thing is they need another gimmick to sell more toys, and makinmg Twilight a princess would fit the bill.

It could be they just ran out of ideas of writing Twilight as a student, making her a princess would give them some fresh ideas to take with her while giving her some new challenges to allow for some further character development. Let's face it she was not learning as much as she used to be during Season 1 when comparing Season 2 and Season 3 with it.
