Principality Charters are part of Kingdom Law while the P. exists as such.
*Anyone* can award arms at the request of the Crown. But the Charter may
state that the Crown bestows upon the P+P carte blanche to Award arms.
Some Principality orders do carry an automatic AoA; I know Drachenwald
had some.

InterKingdom Cultural Anthropology Alert: Atlantia does not give
precedence to any non-armigerous order/award. The OP does list them, but
your non-armigerous stuff carries no weight in Atlantian precedence
calculations.
