Why aren't princes alicorns?

Well, Shining Armor only married into princehood, so that wouldn't automatically elevate him to a higher state of existence.

As others have said, little to nothing is known about Prince Blueblood. It would be kind of weird seeing a dude alicorn wouldn't it? Haha. ^^

I have the lowdown from my 7 year old cousin Dee Dee. Its because "Girls rule and boys drool."

For some reason, my wife agrees with her (and encourages her bad behavior).

 

I pondered this whilst hoovering over my drool bucket. I can't believe it is true, but the show is supposedly aimed at girls...maybe Hasbro installed little girl consultants, to oversee the writers.

From what I know, princes are either married into their position as a prince from marrying royalty or from their lineage in the family. My guess is, that even when a prince is considered royalty they aren't elevated to a higher ascension.
