Princesses and Principalities

UsefulCharts came out with an interesting video a couple of weeks ago:

I feel that the title, "Why CGP Grey is Wrong", is a little click-baity, but it is nonetheless interesting and contains a discussion of the difference between a king and a monarch, a bit about different types of princesses, and overall would have been of great interest to this fandom seven or so years ago.

Yep, Equestrian titles are a horrible mish-mash. We've got princesses ruling kingdoms and city-states, and and queens ruling hives and fishbowls... and possibly a mountain island? And then there's the griffin kingdom without a ruler that we know of.

The only titles that seems to match up would be the Duke and Duchess of Maretonia.

Yeah. I mean historically, the only real rule was: "You'll call me what I want you to call me, because I can make you" (whether that was militarily, socially, or other).

By the way, thanks for the follow!
