* ''Literature/TheGreatestDemonLordIsRebornAsATypicalNobody'': Queen Rosa's uptight aides demand that no one look upon her and only speak when spoken to and are offended when Ireena casually calls her Ro-chan/Rosie. Rosa orders her aides to cut it out and allow people, especially her childhood friend Ireena and great heroes like Ard to talk to her.

** Asterix and Obelix have a habit of doing this (even when there ''is'' security, it just does not last long). They also have a habit of calling Caesar by his first name whenever he shows up.
** In ''Asterix the Legionary'', Asterix's RagtagBunchOfMisfits unit wanders one by one right into Caesar's tent during a strategic meeting, Obelix helpfully identifying their unit when an exasperated Caesar demands to know who these people are. When their CO starts berating them for this, Caesar has ''him'' arrested for not keeping discipline.

* Kings and Queens in ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' games are typically lazy about security. Sure they'll have guards stationed at various points in the castle, but you can pretty much walk up and talk to them without any trouble. In most cases, the main character is either [[JustifiedTrope royalty, a hero or offspring of a hero whose deeds are known the world over, or the local ruler is so desperate to find a way to deal with whatever monster invasion of the week is tearing his kingdom apart that he pretty much accepts anyone with a sword and a willingness to accept suicidal missions]]

* Played straight in ''VideoGame/MountAndBlade'', but sometimes averted in ''Warband''. In the latter, if you meet the King in the field, he'll give you the time of day, but admission to the royal palace during a feast is limited to nobles and tournament winners. ''VideoGame/MountAndBladeBannerlord'', meanwhile, completely averts it, as entering a keep demands you to bribe the guards, be a member of the owner's kingdom, or have sufficiently high renown.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'': Zigzagged with Ezran since he's just a young prince at the start of the show and most of the people he's friendly with are his close friends and family members. [[spoiler:After Ezran becomes king in season 3 he's often seen accompanied by guards for formal occasions onwards, with the sole exception being when he pays a visit to Barius the baker to ask him to take care of his pet glowtoad Bait.]]

* Sort of inverted with the Princess (and later, Queen) Henrietta de Tristain in ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'', who despite being depicted as alternatively pressured, sheltered and/or cloistered by the royal court seems to be able to slip out of the palace incognito for a brief chat with her lower class friends with remarkable ease.

** In Final Fantasy XIV, The Warrior of Light is placed at the center of Eorzea's politics due to being the land's best hope at beating back the primal and Garlean threat. Beause of this, they become quite close to its most powerful authority figures, including numerous members of the nobility of Ishgard as well as the royals of Ul'dah and Doma. Raubahn, Nanamo, and Hien in particular speak with candor around the Warrior, who lets them vent and express their most private thoughts around them. At one point, the Warrior can even offer Hien to the Buduga with a, "Sure. Why not?" to the bewilderment of the Domans. [[spoiler: In Shadowbringers, they have a magical pact with Feo Ul, who is the new Titania, King of the Faeries. After Feo Ul's crowning, the rest of pixies subsequently refer to them as "the king's sapling"]].

Having tightly-controlled security is the opposite of this trope.

* PlayedForLaughs ([[SubvertedTrope but also subverted]]) in the ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' Goofy segment ''How To Be A Gentleman''. At one point, Goofy is presented to the Queen Of England to showcase the proper way to greet royalty. Naturally, Goofy bungles it up with such lines as ''Hiya, Queenie!'' and she hits him in the head each time.

* Inverted in ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings''. Stoick, Chief of Berk (which is now a major power thanks to the dragons, making him effectively a king in all but name) overhears Fintan, Murchadh and Una's conversation on politics and ends up joining it. All three are former slaves who were freed and inducted into the tribe.
