I have so many grumpity responses to this one... 
I think some crowns are easier to feed than others. I've had Royal Peers 
in entourages actually pack an entire day's worth of food for their 
sitting charges, then put the cooler back in the car with a sheepish "I 
forgot we were coming to [our group]."

I've always been sucessful at getting either a stunt cook or a suck up 
who can cook to cook for the Royals if they want something that isn't in 
the regular menu. It goes out quietly to their table along with the 
regular food for everybody else. It's the wierdo crowns (I want people 
circulating all day with trays of canape's?), or the ones who are too 
embedded to talk to you, that we have trouble with. But then my group's 
motto is, "There will be food. It will be good. You will eat. You will 
like."
