What does it take to become a Crown Principality? What does it take to become a Full Principality?
Requirements for a Crown Principality?:
Kingdom Law, VII.D, Crown Principalities and Regions:
1. Crown Principalities:
The Crown, in consultation with the Kingdom Seneschal, may grant recognition of a Region working toward Principality status the name "Crown Principality" and the Crown shall assume, upon recognition thereof; the title "Prince and Princess" of the new Crown Principality. Principality status is defined in and regulated by Corpora. The Crown, in consultation with the Kingdom Seneschal, may revoke the right of a "Crown Principality" to use that name.
In other words:
Enough signatures on a petition that shows the Crown that the will of the populace of the proposed area supports the move.
Requirements for a Full Principality:
Corpora, section III.C.5:

Princess by armored combat. A branch or contiguous group of branches within a kingdom may
