Should they be alicorns, then yeah they would be next in line after current alicorns. Is that what this graph is trying to say? It’s still a bit confusing. But as non-alicorns, they definitely wouldn’t be up that high on the hierarchy.
If Twilight will learn “alicornification spell” to Sunset and Starlight.
If there was not a single alicorn, then yes. I’m not disagreeing with you, but Blueblood is a regular pony compared to alicorns, which I kind of implied. That doesn’t mean he isn’t one on top of the hierarchy below alicorns. As far as I we know, Shining and Blueblood are only princes around, so essentially they will automatically come first before any others. Hence why having Starlight and Sunset so high up doesn’t feel plausible. They aren’t royalty.
Considering that Equestria appears to be a matriarchal society, it’s possible ponies practice a version of agnatic succession, only instead of excluding females from the line of succession, they exclude males. In that case, Blueblood could not succeed to the throne unless there were no princesses available.
Blueblood should be ahead of them still. He has a royal title which makes him more in the line of succession. Being a student of a Princess doesn’t include them in the line. It be like the Prime Minister being next in line after Prince William’s baby instead of any of the other Royal Family members.
Pretty much. Sunset and Starlight belong in the same tier as Blueblood and Fancypants.
Alicorns -> Shining until Flurry is of age -> regular ponies. Shining also would only be a Equestrias ruler as long as Flurry is alive. If no guardianship over her, he would be in same tier as rest of the regular ponies, even if at an elevated position given his current rulership as the prince of Crystal Empire.
