The Crystal Empire parts 1 and 2 are my most watched episodes of MLP. It's not because they are some of my favorites but it was the most bizarre one I've seen and confused me the most. I had to watch it several times to understand what was going on. For example I didn't understand why some of the ponies were shining and turned transparent with gradient manes and jewelry.
Anyway one of the things I've noticed was that when the Crystal Empire returned, there was no ruler present. We didn't even see one during Sombra's rule in the past. According to the Journal of the Two Sisters, there was a ruler called Princess Amore who used to be there who was a former Crystal Princess. And Princess Cadance has a cutie mark that resembles the Crystal Heart, and she has a gradient mane just like the crystal ponies. One of the crystal ponies referred to her as the Crystal Princess. Also Meghan McCarthy states she is a distant relative of Amore. And that means Cadance is part Crystal Pony.
So here's my theory though it may sound a little silly. Princess Amore decided to take a break from the Crystal Empire and went on vacation and leave the Crystal Guards in charge of the empire. Sombra took over, Celestia and Luna banished him and he used the curse to transport the empire about 1,000 years into the future. And when Amore got back from her vacation, she noticed the empire was gone. On a side note Celestia also banished Luna shortly after they banished Sombra. Anyway Amore asked to stay with Princess Celestia. Celestia told her the next Crystal Princess will be whatever great granddaughter Amore has when the empire returns, in this case Cadance. Over the centuries Amore had children, grand children, great grandchildren, and so on until finally Cadance was born. And when the Empire was revived, Celestia sent a letter saying she is the new Crystal Princess.
So that's my headcanon on the Crystal Empire and origins of Princess Cadance. It may sound weird or silly but that's what I can come up with.
