It is interesting that the show changed from "friendship is the ultimate magic" to "love is the ultimate magic"
Now what we got is a prince-in-all-but-name whose power is shielding/defending in love with a princess whose power is love. A dark evil queen wants to steal that love for herself, and brainwashes the prince into focusing it on herself. After a grueling trek the princess must use her love to awaken the prince, and after a magic powerup that restores them physically and spiritually, they blast the evil queen to kingdom come. Haven't we seen this already?
