We (SCA in general) have bloody Kings who go to court in sweatpants!
Then it is up to us, the populace, the Peers, the Baronets, etc to inform the Kings that they are not setting a proper example by wearing sweats to court. If the ones that have won the tournament do not know what is right and proper, it is the RESPONSIBILITY of those that do to help to educate those that do not.
If we permit lazy royals, we have no right to complain. In the end what can they do? They can choose to ignore our advice. They can banish us. (how is that much different than not attending an event anyway because we do not like the sitting royalty?). They can take away our library card - well maybe they can't.
It is up to us to direct our interpretation of the Dream. Even if that means throwing a pair of trews at His Majesty and informing him that he needs to not be the Beggar Prince.
