Supposedly Lauren Faust always wanted Twilight Sparkle to be Celestia's successor. If she was still in charge, would Twilight actually seem like she sort of wants to be a princess, rather than being pressured into it? Given the complete lack of any such indication in the two seasons she was in charge of, I do have my doubts.

@Number62 No I'm not too worried about the lifespan thing anymore, Twilight being an alicorn is weird but honestly pretty cool. It just never seemed in those first two seasons like Twilight had any interest in being a princess; I honestly believe she became Celestia's student solely to learn about magic.

@AlexanderThrondI was against Twilight being an alicorn because I felt that there were too many by that point, and I didn't want the show to keep adding more just because it could. Then I figured that Twilight being an alicorn could open up opportunities for the show to talk about them, but too bad that's not what we got.
As for Twilight wanting to be a princess, you're right in that she hardly aspired to be a princess. Maybe she could eventually find a reason to be one, or maybe she'll realize that's she didn't know that's what she wanted. I feel like they could make it work if they're smart. Overall, I do also agree that the show didn't give much of a reason for her to be a princess. And I doubt there was anything Twilight could actually learn from Celestia.
