A MLP-based commission for a client whose (really cool) idea was that if the main pony royals represented celestial bodies, maybe the rulers of the gryphons represented something like, say, the elements. :D
So here are the King and Queen of gryphons, representing fire and ice. He, of course, is a big showboat of a bird naturally, while she uses ice magic to subtly enhance herself.
Of course, all this was well before the Griffinstone episode. >.>

A little more in depth into the original idea was that, more specifically, they represent hot and cold which, when hot and cold air-masses come together, create wind. Being royals, this would signify themselves as not only the rulers of the skies but the birthers of the wind itself.
(And yes, the Griffin Stone episode was a tremendous let down.)

Honestly, I find your interpretation preferable to what we got in the Griffonstone episode.
Some things were better left a mystery, and that was one of those things.
Though considering the standards of the show at that point, that isn't saying much.
I don't suppose you have any more lore for them that is divorced from what the gryphons became, do you?
