Eventually everyone gets exposed for what they really are.
Especially politicians/elected officials who get sucked in and enamored with the royal treatment they get, for what, winning an election and supposedly representing their constituents? They get driven around by chauffeurs, staff runs and gets them their meals, they get lavish trips and dinners by lobbyists, it doesn't take long for them to be convinced that they actually are royalty, and then they act like it and the truth seeps out.
