Well, since the Queen will be Isabella of York... imagine a progress of
Elizabeth I at the height of her power, and then multiply it in terms of
complexity of event. For the feast, think 'Overboard Rich Brooklyn
Wedding Reception for 400'. We are told to expect attendance between 500
and 700 for Kingdom events, barring political crises, but hopefully this
time it will be ok to have offboard; you may even be able to pare down the
onboard to 200.

3-4 courses is normal at an Eastern feast, along with a subtlety/dessert
course. There is a strong expectation of meat, and at kingdom events, also
an expectation that everything will be at least periodoid.

so she saw the requirements)
