I read somewhere that Hasbro is reluctant to introduce ponies as queens anymore because Disney has made princesses more marketable / popular than queens.
How would Hasbro handle queens? As is the true and pony way, in song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvUX2NbsLxEBy right, I should be queeeeeen! Look what I can dooooooo!

Wasn't it Lauren Faust who mentioned this? Queens have a negative connotation in fantasy stories (most famous one is of course the Evil Queen), so Faust had to change her Queen Celestia to Princess Celestia.
Queen Rosedust and Queen Novo are also protective of their subjects and I think both share similar qualities. Queen Novo is wary of strangers since one betrayed her kidness and trust. I have to admit I've always been a little put out with Rosedust for immediately turning Megan and the ponies away but I feel she like Queen Novo was just trying to protect her subjects from possible harm.
