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.
