It will be interesting to see if they do anything new with the princess theme. Or subvert the obvious “girly one and tomboy one” you can guess from the names.

Well despite having a large adult fanbase, MLP still have the target demographic of young girls, so having a princess character is something that little girls like.

No, they are not. You can see Sunny’s cutie mark in the screenshot of the scene with Izzy and the two guards. It’s just hard to see it. But take a look at Sunny’s flank and you will some of it. It’s not the whole cutie mark.
I like the theory of Pipp and Zipp being twins, but it’s weird if Pipp is a princess but Zipp isn’t. Unless it’s “the first who popped out is princess” sort of thing.
