As stated above I believe that bestowing the style 'Princess Royal' on Princess Charlotte will happen at a suitable time and in a suitable marriage. As to equal primogeniture for the aristocracy, I believe there is a very thick brick wall as to that notion.
The rules on the royal succession have changed for the crown. It is very notable that not only did that also apply to the aristocracy, but male entail remains, thereby rendering widows and daughters homeless . . . still!
Technically, I think entails have been abolished in British law. What may happen is that the estate may be held in trust by the title holder, but other family members normally also derive capital gains or other forms of income from the trust.
I would appreciate if someone with greater knowledge of UK property law could please clarify.
