"The King and Queen are holding the ball for Princess Margaretta. Can you find out how many other eligible bachelors will be at the ball? I mean if the competition is stiff, then I might not have much of a chance anyways. I am thinking of giving my title away or have someone hold it in proxy. I don't need it nor do I want it. You know more about protocol than I do, Kate. If I am not holding a title, would a Princess even look my way?"
