Ha.  
Princes. In this show.  
Nice joke.

All the more reason to not like the ship.

Literally, for the first time in my life, this episode made me want Spike to succeed. I think him as dragon king is much more suiting than a stupid assistant constantly making jokes and not understanding what’s going on.

Bullshit.
 
I know plenty of people who work out and all they get is sweaty, not royalty.

@Dracorex  
I see what you did there you clever son of a ****

If I could upvote comments, I would upvote yours.

@QueenCold  
Nah, a real M Night Twist would be that Spike wrote the dragon laws.

@QueenCold
 
Damn it Shyamamallama!

I don’t keep up with the comics but aren’t they non Canon? Like I said before I believe Twilight did raise Spike though she was obviously supervised by Celestia.
 
That’s why Spike has a better connection to Twilight more than anyone else.

 
I wonder?

@LadyTheRainicorn  
So you ok with a child raising a baby? Cause rember ponies never saw a baby dragon before and it would make a hell of a lot of sence for Celestia to raise Spike before giving her to Twilight. Hell the comics did it

@Nova21
 
All I can say is that it’s different for ponies or at least it was an exception for Twilight since she’s the one that hatched him.
 
It wouldn’t surprise me if Spike imprinted on Twilight anyway so she raised him of course while be supervised.

@Background Pony #4F84  
so let me ask you this. Would you let a ten year old raise a one mouth year old baby?

He won’t be a prince, he’ll be the first lady of dragons.

And he’ll finally get to move out of Ponyville.

My Headcanon is that Spike is Celestias adopted son so he is already a prince. But this is nice too. Besides he is already the Dragon lord, he just let her have his staff. I hope this comes up later in the series BTW. Spike needs to go back to stop a usurper.

No, he would become KING (or regent until Lord Torch passes away at least.).
 
Hmm, a ‘dragon king’. Seems oddly familiar. Like some douche who rambles about science and draws crappy pictures of dinosaurs.

>all this headcanon  
Spike isn’t in any way a prince. Celestia isn’t his mom and he gave away his power as a dragon lord along with his title. And Ember had as much right to rule because she didn’t made it first just because she preffered to help Spike and fight Garble instead getting a scepter. She’s isn’t “a princess because of Spike”.

I support this idea.

He was technically the one who gave Ember his power, so really all of her power comes from him.

But he’s a kid.

Princehood doesn’t mean anything in equestria, #matriarchy  
Go princess or go home  

Only to discover he was a dragon prince all along…
 

well if you take into an account that Princess Celestia is like his mom, then he already is royalty.

Spike is also technically a prince since he is the closest thing Celestia has to a son.
 
also the whole being related to twilight,shining and cadence helps a lot too.
