Years later, I was told that the whole "don't talk to the king unless 
he talks to you first" thing was part of the political infighting. I 
don't know, I was too new to be involved in it (and too shy to talk 
to someone that important anyway.)

I *do* recall that His Majesty made a point of sitting down Sunday 
morning and having an informal "court" and inviting people to ask 
questions about the SCA, knighthood, being king, etc.
