Yeah seriously, for all we know, there were previously many bubblegum candy kings and queens and princes and princesses before PB. She mentions a great uncle gumball in "Susan Strong" and we've seen the Cotton Candy Princess (or queen can't remember which they called her) and she must have been a member of the candy kingdom, so obviously PB wasn't the first ruler, whether or not she is older than we think. There is very low chance that she has been around since the mushroom war.
