Do the writers hate the word "Emperor"?

We have Agrabah with their Sultan of Sultans. We have the unnamed kingdoms of a decentralized Enchanted Forest. And here in NEF we have a King that rules over several kingdoms. Like, Eudora is a Queen, Tiana a princess, but they (and others) fall under King X's kingdom. Then we had Tiana address "Prince Marias" as "a nobleman". Maybe they couldn't help but make Tiana a princess. We know that Tiana's father was originally a commoner; "he enlisted as a cook", but after marrying Eudora, "her love made him a prince". We can conclude that Eudora had at least some level of royalty, perhaps from a neighbouring kingdom, or a relative of the then-current king. Tiana also notes that her father "rebuilt [Eudora's] land into a great kingdom".

I firmly believe that the "#queeneudora" hashtag used by Robin Givens was a mistake, since it is the only time she is suggested as such, and we don't see her referenced on-screen or by A&E. She would have held nothing higher than the title of "princess"

Furthermore, it solves the issue of them being subject to another king. If they've gone through more than one king since that war, Tiana's family would now be more distant relatives to the current king, hence would be more detached from the royal family and be more equivalent to higher nobility such as lords, dukes and earls, and would be fully subject to the current king and his taxes. They may still have their royal titles, but they come with little-to-no recognised power or privilege.
