Why? Why is it necessary to forbid the Queen, when organizing a gathering,
to refer to herself in a possessive? Or are you proposing that the Cook's
Guild suggest to the non-fighting half of our Regional head teams (that
is, kingdom royalty) that they not hold gatherings at all?

And by the way, period queens held gatherings, meetings, meals, etc. all
the time. In many places, the royalty generally travelled, met with people
and often even ATE separately.

The constructive criticism approach to something one percieves as not
period is to research and present a period alternative, not simply to
'work on getting rid of it'. Those who practice the opposite of
constructive criticism where authenticity is concerned in the SCA are
referred to by an epithet and a battle cry: "That's not period!"
