* '''Played For Drama''': Princess Alice has studied and trained for something she sincerely ''wants'' to do, but the only way to find out if she is actually remotely competent at it rather than [[LetTheBullyWin being humored due to her rank]] is to ditch anything resembling an entourage and [[KingIncognito go so deeply incognito]] that it risks real problems.
