Well, given that the populace are paying for the feast - equal amounts all - 
whereas their Majesties generally do not, given that no member of the event 
staff is actually retained by their Majesties, and given that at least here, 
all event staff members take personal financial risks whenever an event comes 
up, I think we can justify departing a little from the medieval pattern.
