Modest Royalty	comment	This is the opposite of the Ermine Cape Effect, where persons in power, usually members of the royal family or the ruling monarch, prefer very simple clothing and will often refuse to wear anything but the simplest crown. They still won't dress like slobs or peasants — that would be King Incognito. You might mistake them for well-mannered commoners in the right situation. Color-Coded Patrician is possible. Sometimes the Princess Classic can go this way, but a Rebellious Princess almost always will. The Boisterous Bruiser, if a royal, usually does; fancy clothing interferes with drinking life to the lees. It's not uncommon to see the King walk the streets as a King Incognito while their Decoy Leader handles the day-to-day. This trope is usually confined to good fictional royalty. Evil royalty tend to go overboard with their costumes and impressive crowns, to emphasize that they are tyrants who like to lord their wealth over everyone else. Common exceptions are conquerors from Proud Warrior Races and Barbarian Tribes, who tend to dress in a simple but badass fashion, and those who insist they are Just the First Citizen. A possible example of this exception might be a Magnificent Bastard who dresses his Praetorian Guard up in gorgeous Bling of War to emphasize his power while he wears grimly simple garb himself to emphasize what a badass he is. Largely Truth in Television, if only because you'd have to be extremely sybaritic to walk around every day wearing a fortune in irreplaceable jewelry and fancy clothes, although in the past, some came close. This is especially true if the royals actually personally lead armies or otherwise do something useful besides running the country. It's also necessary if a royal wants to avoid getting assassinated by dressing in a manner that gives them away. There is even a correlation with good monarchs: all those dresses, furs, and jewelry cost money, which had to come from taxes, unless the monarch is a miser or exports some natural resource over which the state has a monopoly. However, those monarchies tend to become corrupt, too. Compare Royals Who Actually Do Something, Simple, yet Opulent, Just the First Citizen, Affluent Ascetic and Spoiled Sweet. Contrast with the Ermine Cape Effect, Costume Porn, Pimped-Out Dress, Bling of War, and some other Luxury Tropes. Unrelated to publishing deals that make the writer a Starving Artist.

Modest Royalty / int_10ddd3d5	comment	Midna, the titular Twilight Princess, is this when we finally see her true form. While Zant, the usurper who had cursed her to be an imp, was someone who didn't care about the Twili people and dressed in opulent robes with a metal mask, Midna prefers a simple cloth coat, loincloth, and some hair dressings.◊

Modest Royalty / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: Marceline, the Vampire Queen: she's a queen, but prefers a tank-top, skinny jeans, and cowgirl boots to any sort of indicator of her royalty. She's seen wearing a dress only once, and it was a dress made of tattered wolf fur. It should be noted, however, that she's the only vampire who's actually around for most of the show, and according to Word of God "Vampire Monarch" is more an honorary title for the strongest vampire unalive than an actual ruler. It helps that she's also the last vampire, since she killed them all herself and only became one because of a Contrived Coincidence. There's also the Earl of Lemongrab. He's an earl, and the heir to the Candy Kingdom Throne, but he enters the kingdom with nothing but his camel, a sword, and a gray jumpsuit. Aside from his title on introduction (and the fact that he quite insistently screams "THAT IS WHY I AM ROYAL, AND YOOOU ARE SERVILE!" later), he gives no visual indication that he is royal. Princess Bubblegum counts, too. Her costumes of choice consist of long, flowing formal dresses and gowns. However, when she isn't on the job, she prefers more casual attire, like jeans, hoodies, shorter skirts, and T-shirts. She also wears her lab coat a lot.

Modest Royalty / int_11d152d0	comment	Notably, near the beginning of the Belgariad, where Anheg, King of Cherek starts talking to Belgarath in a flowery, poetic language. Belgarath then responds with a sort of "what's up with the language, dude?" and the response is "well, we wanted it to look nice in the history books". From there on, though most characters are either royalty or nobility, only very corrupt nobles make a point of wearing their finery.

The narrator takes great pains to point out that Emperor Shaddam IV rarely bothers to wear imperial regalia; he prefers an only slightly more ostentatious version of the uniform worn by the Sardaukar, the Imperial House Corrino's military force, although it's less "modesty" and more "naked show of force".

Charliss is something of an exception, though, as his rich robes are of a very austere cut and color, for the "making himself look badass" principle. Queen Selenay, Prince-Consort Daren, and Grand Duke/King Tremaine wear high-quality but simple clothing, avoiding heavy robes and large crowns. High Priest Solaris has to wear ornate robes for rituals, but her everyday clothing is the robes of a simple Sun-Priest (though of a finer quality of fabric).

However, he has no kingdom, and wanders from place to place as a destitute nomad. His only possessions are a plain white robe, his sandals, and his sword.

Modest Royalty / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: In Dragon Age: Origins, if Alistair is elected king, he'll spend most of his time out of the castle, chatting with the locals and visiting taverns, all to the commoners' delight. Fereldan nobility in general is fairly modest; one Orlesian in Denerim observes that "the nobility is not so high, and the commoners not so low" in comparison to the rather haughty elite in Orlais. If he is king in the world state used in Dragon Age: Inquisition, the trope is still in play. Like most Fereldan nobles, he wears formal-looking armor rather than any sort of robes of state, and no crown. The Cousland family, of which the Human Noble Warden is a member, seem to all possess this trait. Despite being second in importance only to the actual royal family, the Couslands appear to dislike the formality of traditional courtly manners, preferring to speak as equals among friends and allies. In fact, Teyrn Cousland frequently is referred to by the other nobles simply as "Bryce." In Dragon Age II, Hawke ascends to the Kirkwall nobility after regaining their family fortune, and later becomes the Champion of Kirkwall after preventing the Qunari invasion. Despite their newfound wealth and status, Hawke continues to roam around the city doing odd jobs for people, refuses to get a proper job, and would far prefer to head down to the Hanged Man in Lowtown for a round of drinks than attend a noble banquet held in their honour. The Mark of the Assassin DLC reveals that despite being officially recognised as the legitimate heir to the Amell family, Hawke politely turned down the title of "Lord/Lady Amell", simply because they wanted to earn the title of "Lord/Lady Hawke" instead.

Modest Royalty / int_1b604019	comment	Area 88: Justified with Saki Vashtal who is a prince of Asran while also commanding the mercenary base at Area 88. He is the son of Prince Abdael, who was passed over for kingship in favor of his brother Zak. Abdael turned traitor, becoming leader of the anti government forces. Saki either dresses in regular military fatigues, a flightsuit, or a simple shirt and tie. Additionally, despite being royalty, in the Asran military, Saki is only a Lt. Colonel and not even a full Colonel, let alone a Brigadier General. He's not a crown prince so Saki has no real reason to wear more princely garb, and especially since Asran is supposed to be a poor country, he probably hasn't got the means to.

Modest Royalty / int_1ef6a11b	comment	Lynn Flewelling does this: in the Nightrunner books most of her queens and princesses run around in armor, riding clothes or appear at court in somewhat elaborate but modest dresses. The fanciest it gets is when Princess Klia has to do some negotiations with another nation. And it is fancy only because she wears tons of jewelry, and this is for tactical reasons (since the 'faie have an intricate gift culture: Klia has received most of said jewelry as welcome gifts and is more or less obliged to wear them. Aside of that such gifts are usually done by simply giving the necklace you wore yourself. Klia wears an arsenal of tactical maneuvers.) Also Queen TamÃr from the TamÃr Triad always preferred simpler garb even in her/ his youth. She/ he grew up far away from court and is used to simple, comfortable clothes, and for a good while just feels silly in a dress. However, in general the trope is justified with any Skalan Queen since they also are the leaders of their armies and in wartimes spend quite a lot of time on the battlefield.

While Princess Luna usually makes use of the Ermine Cape Effect by dressing up for the big noble parties (and the Gala is the biggest of the big), this time she wants to rebuke the nobility of the Night Court for trying to deny emergency funds to Ponyville after it was hit by an especially nasty and destructive curse. To that end, she not only forgoes the fancy dresses but even lays aside her regalia and turns off her astral mane and tail. The end result is that she looks pretty much like one of the Ponyville residents she invited to the Gala as part of the aforementioned rebuke.

Special mention goes to Prince Gwydion, who dresses so plainly that on their first meeting, Taran thinks he's lying about his identity. Princess Eilonwy is Modest Royalty not only in her attire but also in her manners - so much so that she never even thinks to mention that she's a princess throughout the entire first book. Both Taran and the reader only learn about it on literally the last page.

Modest Royalty / int_23945975	comment	Disney Animated Canon: Ariel from The Little Mermaid always wears casual attire as a mermaid, and in a notable contrast to her sisters, she prefers a very natural look for her hair, always leaving it down and letting it flow messy and free, and doesn't wear any hair decorations except for tropical flowers by her ear. Even though she wears more tiaras, regal gowns, fancy shoes, and Prim and Proper Buns as a human, she seems to prefer going barefoot with her hair down and wearing the more modest, less regal-looking "Kiss the Girl" dress. Honestly, most of the time she's a mermaid and a human you would never guess she was a princess based on looks alone. Princess Aurora/Briar Rose in Sleeping Beauty. No Giant Poofy Sleeves, a minimum of the Ermine Cape Effect, an elegant but understated tiara... the most remarkable thing about her dress is the war the Fairies fight over what color it's supposed to be. No prizes for which color won out in the movie's merchandise. Her appearances in House of Mouse fit this trope even better, because in them she's ditched her fancy gown altogether and gone back to wearing her old peasant clothes. Aladdin's Princess Jasmine (in her traveling outfit, not her court clothes.) Robin Hood (1973)'s Maid Marian is King Richard's niece, and thus a member of England's royal family, but dresses very simply. Princess Eilonwy, from The Black Cauldron, spends the entire film in a very simple◊ dress, with nothing to indicate that she's anything other than a servant of some kind. Princess Kida, from Atlantis: The Lost Empire, spends most of the movie wearing a bikini and sarong. Kida's even more modest-looking coronation dress at the end of the film, which is completely free of any detail except on the sash hanging down from the front of said dress, also counts. Cinderella in Cinderella II: Dreams Come True favors simple dresses (including a blue version of her former servant outfit from her first Disney movie). The epilogue of Frozen has Anna go with a rather simple dress. Frozen II shows Elsa in a Simple, yet Opulent purple dress. The Wreck-It Ralph series: The first movie, Wreck-It Ralph: Vanellope prefers casual attire over her original design as Princess of Sugar Rush. The sequel has all the Disney Princesses don extremely modern clothing, which is the result of them meeting Vanellope and becoming friends with her.

When introduced, he's spent most of his life in fancy clothes, as befits the prince of Khwarezm. However, after Samarkand falls to the Mongols and the shah dies, he is reduced to wearing rags. He goes on to raise an army, largely by making a number of rousing speeches, and the fact that he doesn't wear fancy clothes is one of the things his men respect about him. Indeed, when offered the chance to wear something more fitting than rags, he refuses.

His post-upgrade outfit (Ninja gear), though far from casual, might count as well, since it doesn't signify his status in any way.

Modest Royalty / int_343830b9	comment	The Night Unfurls: The aversion of Requisite Royal Regalia means that the seven Princess Knights would qualify... if one overlooks how their outfits seem to be designed for showing off their bodies/assets. The remastered version tones down the fanservice, putting several of the Princess Knights closer to this trope. For straighter cases, there's Celestine, who wears a shawl and a white robe; Luu-Luu, who is clad in raw animal hide; and Kaguya, who looks like a Miko. Prim is a subversion. She wears a white and pink dress during her first appearance, but the narration describes her dress as "the work of the finest tailors of Feoh and Ur", meaning that she falls into Simple, yet Opulent. Later double subverted as she wears a more practical white dress during the ride to Ken, which would take approximately three to five days.

Not only does he dress very casually, he hates formal occasions and cancels as many as he can get away with, much to his steward's dismay. At one point, another character chides him for it, saying he should at least wear the crown or else no one would know who he was. Cimorene is even worse; more especially when she was Kazul's princess you are more apt to see her in sensible clothing with an apron. Even after marrying Mendanbar she sticks to it. And their son Daystar sticks to the trend, though in the beginning he didn't know he was a prince.

After her heritage is revealed and she publicly becomes queen, Historia makes a few changes to her attire and appearance, donning a new outfit and a more respectable plaited updo, but it's still quite simple; she only dons the Requisite Royal Regalia for her coronation and a few official ceremonies.

On one hand were the kings and emperors who had modest palaces and were considered wise and left strong legacies. On the other were those who built extravagantly and lost their empire, or had their successors lose the empire. Rui ignores, and the Wei dynasty is eventually supplanted.

Modest Royalty / int_468bebb0	comment	Several examples from the Discworld series: King Verence II, due to him growing up a jester. He spends most of his time in his work clothes and actively tries to lessen his own power and prestige, much to the confusion of the traditionalist people of Lancre. (Queen Magrat would like to do the same, but is told the rules are different. Kings can go around with "the arse hanging out of their trousers"; Queens have to have a Pimped-Out Dress.) Vimes, too, fits this mold. After being promoted to Duke of Ankh, he goes out of his way to remove most of the frillier things in his "traditional" dress outfits—partly because he's always hated the upper class, and partly because (from the descriptions), they'd look ridiculous. He even gets into this as Commander of the Watch: for example, when his wife buys him new, expensive boots, he always trades them for the cheap, barely-a-sole-to-them boots like he used to wear, because he can tell exactly where he is in the city based on how the stones feel on his feet. He dresses so shabbily that a shop owner in Jingo mistakes him for a beggar. When the soles of Vimes' boots are too worn to be considered boots anymore, he replaces them with cardboard. Sybil, Vimes' wife, may be one of the wealthiest women in Ankh-Morpork, but she spends most of her time in work clothes tending to swamp dragons. They're well-made work clothes that will last for years, but still work clothes. And another ruler who shuns the fancy stuff: Havelock Vetinari. He doesn't even dress as a high-class Assassin despite having attended and graduated from the school; instead of Assassins' traditional stylish black, he just wears plain, plain black. Back when he was still an active assassin, he preferred brown, gray, and green - essentially a variation of modern-day camouflage, as he realized that the regulation black is almost always visible except in deepest darkness where you can't see anything, anyway. He did wear black whenever attending the guild functions though, since anything else would have gotten him kicked out. Not to mention Carrot Ironfoundersson, who'd rather remain in the Watch than be acknowledged as the rightful king of Ankh-Morpork.

Modest Royalty / int_46a4b34d	comment	Partially employed in The Elenium; while courtiers are often described wearing ornate and rather ridiculous court fashions, serious or competent nobles tend to downplay their finery to tasteful elegance instead of ermine and other ornate details. In fact, most respectable monarchs are described as disliking court functions precisely because they're so overblown. Ehlana, the Queen of Elenia whom Sparhawk serves as Champion, is an exception; while she dresses sensibly enough, she likes court functions and the Ermine Cape Effect. The narrative explains that this is because of her neglectful and abusive childhood, during which formal court events were the only times anyone treated her with any sort of attention or respect. After they marry, Sparhawk actually has to force his wife to not issue him stylish clothing or a rapier. Thoroughly averted in the same series, in Sparhawk's interactions with the Bhelliom - he has to use formal, archaic patterns of speech and thought or it won't deal with him, because it believes formality helps shape history.

Modest Royalty / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring: Malenia is a demigod princess and the World's Best Warrior, but if you look at her statues in the Haligtree (where she currently dwells), they never depict her as such. Malenia is shown in plain clothes, with her prosthetic arm detached, kneeling to embrace her child-sized brother Miquella. Even in her boss fight, her garb is understated and practical, aside from her winged helmet. This is especially notable since basically every single soldier in her army has more ornate clothing and equipment than she does, particularly her elite knights. Morgott the Veiled Monarch is this trope Played for Drama: he wears ragged clothing that make him look more like a homeless person than a king, doesn't even wear a crown, feels unworthy of sitting on the throne of Leyndell, and doesn't even show himself to the population; however, this is not out of humility, but out of pure self-loathing over being an Omen, a being scorned by the Golden Order for its 'impurity'; being the son of Queen Marika didn't spare him the fate of being locked in the sewers of Leyndell for most his life. Despite all of this, he's doggedly loyal to the Golden Order and so sees himself as deserving of that scorn.

Modest Royalty / int_49ad83ee	comment	Most of the faction leaders in World of Warcraft. The one it's really notable with though, is the Prophet Velen: who dresses less fancy than his bodyguards. You'd never really mistake him for an ordinary Draenei though, even if the game didn't make his model hilariously huge. Not only is Velen the leader of the Draenei chosen by the Na'aru, but also one of the oldest beings in existence with almost godlike powers: who is all but actually worshipped by the Draenei (and one gets the sense they would if he let them). Also invoked in-game by Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron: who tells the player how nice it is to get out of his office and back into the woods. He keeps the strapless blood-red and definitely very magical eyepatch though. By Blood Elf standards, he dresses simply: although Blood Elves are flashy dressers even in the worst of circumstances. This is partly because he became the Blood Elf leader in the absolute worst of circumstances, and partly because he never wanted to be leader of anything much less a civilization. Thalyssra, the First Arcanist and current leader of Suramar looks absolutely ordinary as one of the Nightborne; whose outfits all possess elaborate arcane decorations that can defy gravity while hers are more subdued and simple. There's also Genn Greymane and both his children Liam and Tess, whose outfits look like they about to go hunting; even back before the Forsaken invaded and drove them out of Gilneas.

Though as commander-in-chief he is entitled to wear a pimped-out uniform, he wears it only when ceremonial duties require it. This is partly tacit acknowledgment that he has never meaningfully served in the military, and partly to support the image of his "progressive" reign.

Fereldan nobility in general is fairly modest; one Orlesian in Denerim observes that "the nobility is not so high, and the commoners not so low" in comparison to the rather haughty elite in Orlais.

The only thing that makes him stand out is that he's the biggest ham. Queen Gorgo seems to wear lengths of un-dyed wool draped around herself and precariously secured with a few leather straps except for the burgundy number she wears to confront the senate. This is Truth in Television, as female Spartan' dress code dis-encouraged the use of opulent dresses, jewelry and makeup and they tended to dress simply.

Aside from her vocal love of righteousness that borderlines on Wrong Genre Savvy, one also doesn't get more modest than a willingness to travel in austre settings with a bunch of misfits.

She is never seen in royal garb, preferring to wear normal dresses plus necessary armors for combat, and her activities include cooking normal non-gourmet food (and eating those normal foods too), fighting while riding a Pegasus, and mingling with commoners, which led her to be able to recruit more units than usual while being something of a kind 'girl next door' type (also winning lots of the loyalty of many non-nobility units.

Modest Royalty / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Fire Nation royals are fairly modest, with both Zuko and Azula wearing what basically amounts to military uniforms. Ozai's Fire Lord outfit is a bit more elaborate, but he's perfectly willing to lose everything but the pants when it's time to get serious. The crown, meanwhile, is a simple flame-shaped piece that fits into the hair. Ozai in particular tends to Zigzag this; he goes full Caligula and promotes himself to the new title of Phoenix King with a more elaborate crown and costume, but still shucks it without hesitation when it's time to fight. The Earth King's robes aren't all that fancy either, and the Water Chiefs are largely indistinguishable from their tribe. Only Bumi is shown with exaggeratedly large and fancy regalia, and that seems to be a sign of his eccentricity. Zukoâ€™s grandson Iroh II is only ever called â€œGeneral Irohâ€� in The Legend of Korra, despite presumably being the Crown Prince. note He has a sister whom they couldnâ€™t figure out a way to work in, but since she was going to be Makoâ€™s love interest, sheâ€™s presumably about five years younger than him. He also just wears a normal military uniform, not a royal outfit.

Modest Royalty / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Princess Zelda was this in the first three games, with both her in-game appearances and her game manual artwork showing her wearing simple dresses and sometimes a piece of jewelry (with the exception of a single piece of official art from A Link to the Past). This was due to the technical limitations of the NES and Super NES. Once The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time came about, Zelda fell into the Pimped-Out Dress territory and has remained there ever since, with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword being an exception due to Zelda not being a princess in that game. Midna, the titular Twilight Princess, is this when we finally see her true form. While Zant, the usurper who had cursed her to be an imp, was someone who didn't care about the Twili people and dressed in opulent robes with a metal mask, Midna prefers a simple cloth coat, loincloth, and some hair dressings.◊ Zig-zagged in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While Zelda does have a fancy regal dress, she's rarely seen in it, instead seemingly preferring a more practical Adventurer Archaeologist outfit (complete with pants). Even her ritual wear is a fairly simple white dress. The meme-tastic The Legend Of Zelda C Di Games also has Zelda in a rather simple looking outfit where she seems to be wearing a vest, a shirt showing her belly, and a simple tiara — likely based on her appearance in, of all things, Captain N: The Game Master. The King also follows a similar fashion trend by wearing a simple yellow robe, which is a sharp contrast to the duke who wears a pimped out robe, lots of jewelry, and a big crown.

The fanciest thing she wears is the gown from her failed wedding and the gown she wears as The Maiden of Choosing. Subverted a bit since she was unaware of her royal heritage until recently. Abel is a more straight example, having been raised as a prince but still favoring normal clothing. Though his blue naval uniform is nice-looking, it's no fancier than his fellow officers' uniforms.

Modest Royalty / int_9cd8ee19	comment	In Naming, the Hyulian royal family dress in "almost drab" garb. The main thing that separates them from their servants is the symbols and small amounts of jewelry (and the current princess doesn't even jewelry outside of her crown). Zelda, who has been asleep for 1000 years, remembers when Hyule has been more prosperous. Since she fell asleep, Hyrule has fallen due to wars and other disasters.

Modest Royalty / int_9d47a2a2	comment	George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire: In the Dunk and Egg short story "The Sworn Sword," Lady Webber is something of a tomboy and tends to dress in plain, outdoorsy clothes. When Dunk first enters her courtyard, he assumes that an older, better-dressed woman is the lady, overlooking the young woman in leather practicing archery. The Starks (except for Sansa) tend to prefer simple clothing, as do most nobles in the North. Even their crown is simple, made from iron and bronze rather than gold or silver. The idea is that gold and silver, while pretty, are weak. The Stark crown is made of tougher stuff, because to be King in the North, you need to be tough. The even grimmer, even upper north elective tribal monarchy of the Wildlings does not feature any distinction in appearance at all. Mance Rayder, the King Beyond The Wall, looks just like any other Wildling. No crown, of course. Some of the tribal chiefs, however, try their own ideas of bling, like the "Lord o'Bones" who wears an egregious amount of bones on his fur armor. The Braavosi nobles wear simple black clothes, while poorer classes are peacocks. Stannis Baratheon, Lord of the Narrow Sea, Master of Ships, and King of the Seven Kingdoms, dresses and acts like a soldier, wearing plain grey plate in battle and drab clothes outside of it, with the only sign of his power being his rather spartan crown. His meals and quarters are also fairly plain. The Prince of Dragonstone in The Hedge Knight. Granted, Duncan the Tall isn't the world's smartest Knight, but he manages to not be aware that he's talking to the Heir Apparent to the Targaryen king. The Lord Commander of the Night's Watch already exists in pretty modest state, but when Jon Snow becomes Commander he rejects some of its few signifiers, rarely keeping guards with him and choosing not to dwell in the Commander's normal tower quarters. Melisandre considers this its own form of pride and that the trappings of authority are important to retaining it and given Jon is later murdered by his subordinates may have a point.

Granted the majority of her time onscreen was infiltrating an underground criminal organization that was trying to take over her kingdom and later fighting alongside the Straw Hats as an honorary crew mate, but she's only ever shown once in a Pimped-Out Dress and that was for an official occasion. Mostly she's seen wearing comfortable and practical clothes for everyday duties. To some extent, Dalton from Drum Kingdom, but then again he didn't inherit the throne and doesn't like to be called "King" to begin with. Donquixote Doflamingo, the (now former) king of Dressrosa, is a double subversion. His main outfit is extravagant all right, but it's definitely not something you'd expect a king to wear either.

Plenty of members of the Britannian Royal family dress rather modestly consisdering their status - however this is justified for various reasons such as piloting Humongous Mecha (Cornelia), being undercover (Lelouch and Nunnally), or otherwise slightly fancier looking everyday attire. When the characters appear in more fancy looking outfits, they are generally doing things royals would do such as making public appearances and ruling.

Modest Royalty / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Cecil and Rosa in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Cecil's armor is not much different than in the original game, and Rosa is less fancy, having swapped her Leotard of Power for a long white dress with a cape. Galuf and Krile of Final Fantasy V wear quite simple outfits in their ingame sprites. Their Amano art has more decoration, but that's Amano for you—even then, Galuf's outfit is otherwise plain black. Lenna's ingame sprite is also a simple short dress. They are also Royals Who Actually Do Something. Edgar of Final Fantasy VI dresses casually enough to pass for a non-royal, is on first name terms with most people, and appears to be wearing plain light armour in the tacked-on FMV sequences. He is another Final Fantasy royal who actually does things. Garnet of Final Fantasy IX dresses fairly casually for most of the game, and actively tries to behave in a more "common" fashion, as well as changing her name to Dagger. And again, she is a princess who actually does something. At least when considering the rest of the cast, Princess Ashe is this in Final Fantasy XII. Really, it's a safe bet that royalty in Final Fantasy games tend to dress as casually as the rest of the cast. Prince Noctis from Final Fantasy XV wears a very casual black shirt and shorts, and can change into even more casual-looking clothes that give him the appearance of a trucker. His clothes are distinctly less fancy than many non-royal characters from the previous games, and actually appears less formal than his attendant, Ignis.

He's not even treated as the chief's son by anyone except Trader Johnan in the TV series, who calls him "Master Hiccup" as opposed to just "Mr. Whomever" like he calls everyone else. The second film does place more emphasis on Hiccup's role in the clan, especially at the end when he is formally installed as chief, but his outfits don't get any royal upgrades. Even in the third film, where he is explicitly in charge, there's nothing especially standout with regards to his clothing, except when he wears his dragonscale armor.

Modest Royalty / int_a9d9d1f1	comment	The Rose of Versailles: King Louis XVI dresses very simply unless he's on an official occasion (as his coronation or the inauguration of the Estates-General, the only occasions he doesn't wear plain clothing). Even then he'll sometimes wear simple clothing (when ordering the National Assembly to revert to the Estates-General, for example). Maria Theresa of Austria always wears simple dresses, with only a purple sash, earrings and a diadem, plus her own dignity, to announce she is the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire. She considers this as the only appropriate style for a sovereign, due to her belief that a true queen shouldn't need to wear extravagant clothing and that dressing modestly will bring out her natural beauty. She's appalled when she sees a portrait of her daughter Marie Antoinette wearing one of her preferred Pimped Out Dresses as the Queen of France, even saying she looks more like a gaudily-dressed actress than a queen. In the sequel Eikou no Napoleon - Eroica Napoleon distinguishes himself from both other royals and his own Marshals by wearing the basic artillery officer uniform almost the entire time. The only time he wears rich clothing is his coronation as Emperor of the French.

Modest Royalty / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon: Both series' feature a number of Royals Who Actually Do Something, and therefore dress sensibly. Rhaenyra Targaryen never lets anyone forget her position as royalty and designated heir to the Iron Throne, yet she rarely makes a fuss about appearing the part 24/7. Her clothing/accoutrements - as well as those of her children and courtiers - are rarely fancy unless the situation requires it (though still of high quality). During her first councils as Queen after her half-brother has usurped her throne, she dispenses with nearly all ceremony and allows her councilors to speak freely (though they all do so respectfully). Stannis Baratheon, in particular, especially when he compared his his brothers, as he dresses much like his men, with very few royal affections in his dress in general, and forgoes wearing a crown - even more modest than his book counterpart, who wears a crown shaped like flames. (Stannis's younger brother Renly Baratheon, on the other hand, wanders about in a silly crown made of stag antlers and loves dressing extravagantly.) House Stark, compared to other great houses: Ned Stark is definitely one of the most humble noblemen in all of Westeros. Case in point: when the servant who receives Ned in King's Landing asks if he'd like to change into something more appropriate for the King's Council meeting, Ned just takes his riding gloves off and goes as he is. Like Stannis, Robb Stark dresses much like his men. Furthermore, he doesn't wear a crown - though neither do Stannis or Balon Greyjoy. (Among the Five Kings, only Renly and Joffrey wear one.) Even his book counterpart wears a crown in the same style of those worn by the old Kings of Winter. Additionally, when the Stark troops cheer after their first victory against the Lannisters, the first thing he does is to somberly remind his men that the war has only begun, and that their final victory is far from assured. Like Robb, Jon Snow wears no crown after he is declared King in the North, and continues to dress the same way he did before. It says something about their house that for the most part, Sansa was the only one who wears Southern-inspired flashy outfits (in Season 1 due to being an Alpha Bitch, Season 2 onwards due to being a hostage in King's Landing), and even she chooses to mute her style further come Season 6, wearing a Brunswick green layered dressâ€”with the Stark insignia embossed in gold. Quite flashy for Northern wear, but definitely muted compared to the South. Ironborns aren't flashy about their status compared to other nobles. Even when they become king, the crown is simply a piece of driftwood. That's because pirate is the emphasis in the term "pirate king."

Only once (Twilight's coronation) have they ever sported a Pimped-Out Dress â€“ in Cadance's case, twice, the other was her own wedding. Twilight Sparkle is the same way, once she becomes an alicorn princess as well. She won't even wear her crown unless it's a special occasion, and even then it's a very small and simple model; she completely forgoes any other regalia. In fact, her crowns get progressively simpler; her original crown as the bearer of the Element of Harmony was more ornate than the one she wore at her coronation, despite both containing her Element. When she wears a dress, rest assured that it has nothing to do with her social standing. She didn't even have a castle at first, preferring to continue living at the library and only leaving because it got blown up. This trope must run in the family, as Twilight's older brother Shining Armor, a prince by marriage to the aforementioned Cadance, has never once been shown with a crown, only wearing a royal red tunic on very rare formal occasions. He once introduced himself to a tourist, whom they thought was an important Equestria Games instructor, merely by name rather than title.

The rest of his Badass Family isn't much fancier. The fanciest outfit among them is the dress Rosella wears when about to be sacrificed to a dragon. There's also his daughter-in-law's layered robes, all the better to conceal a knife. Invoked Trope because no one believes they are royalty during their quests. Alexander has to show off his signet ring a few times in King's Quest VI. In the Fan Sequel The Silver Lining, Graham's first action is to change out of his formal attire and into his "questing gear" because it's frankly impractical to kick Black Cloaked butt in formal attire. He also has to show the ferryman a Daventry coin to prove he's Alexander's dad.

Modest Royalty / int_dbb68ab6	comment	The Chronicles of Narnia: Most Narnian royals display this to some degree. While there are few detailed descriptions of clothing throughout the series, C. S. Lewis does emphasize that in Narnia, one's 'best' clothes are also one's most comfortable clothes. The Magician's Nephew When Aslan summons Helen, a commoner from our world, to become the first Queen of Narnia, she arrives in a simple dress and hands still soapy from washing. The narration notes that if she had known what was about to happen she would have put on her fanciest outfit, which was tacky and foolish-looking. When Helen and her husband Frank are crowned, their crowns are described as being simple circlets, rather than the traditional real-world style baroque monstrosities. The Horse and His Boy The Narnian embassy to Calormen is one of the few detailed descriptions we get of clothing; the attending lords as well as King Edmund wear simple tunics in bright colors (green, yellow, and blue). King Lune of Archenland makes a first impression like this with Aravis, but in this case it's justified in the narration; he was wearing older clothes because, at the time, he had been inspecting the kennels of his hunting-dogs.

Justified with Star's own coronation outfit: by the time she's crowned queen, the Butterfly Kingdom has accrued massive debt after the Cleaving caused the War of Two Worlds, so she probably couldn't afford a grander dress, and considering most of the Mewnian population was killed in said war, it'd probably have been in bad taste to do so as well.

Despite their newfound wealth and status, Hawke continues to roam around the city doing odd jobs for people, refuses to get a proper job, and would far prefer to head down to the Hanged Man in Lowtown for a round of drinks than attend a noble banquet held in their honour. The Mark of the Assassin DLC reveals that despite being officially recognised as the legitimate heir to the Amell family, Hawke politely turned down the title of "Lord/Lady Amell", simply because they wanted to earn the title of "Lord/Lady Hawke" instead.

Most of the protagonists (especially in earlier novels) are gruff, tough, no-nonsense types from the rugged western frontier, so they tend to dress sensibly and conservatively and act in a very straightforward manner. Meanwhile nobles from the Kingdom's eastern realm are courtiers and intriguers, and they keep up with the latest trends and dress ostentatiously, and are portrayed as being isolated from the rigours of life in the real world.

The class's other Ojou is willing to spend the most ridiculous sums of money for whatever reason and has upgraded her dorm room to be twice as large as the standard (though in one episode of the first TV series, she took the subway with Asuna while dressed in a typical teen's shirt, jeans, and sneakers). Meanwhile Konoka (who's even richer) chooses to live as the other students and has so far used her vast fortune at least once in the series (to gain help for her friends from a miserly Boisterous Bruiser). Konoka specifically concealed it from the class that she was so rich at all (since they never asked). Asuna also dresses modestly, in part because she actually doesn't know she's a princess. Negi, a royal who was raised after their kingdom fell in a fairly austere setting.

The Avatar doesn't even realize they're royalty until they bring him/her to see their big sister, Emmeryn. Considering that they're long descendants of Marth, they must've gotten that from Caeda/Sheeda (who is Marth's wife). She is never seen in royal garb, preferring to wear normal dresses plus necessary armors for combat, and her activities include cooking normal non-gourmet food (and eating those normal foods too), fighting while riding a Pegasus, and mingling with commoners, which led her to be able to recruit more units than usual while being something of a kind 'girl next door' type (also winning lots of the loyalty of many non-nobility units. Ask Ogma about it).

Legolas, the Prince of the Woodland Realm, looks generally as modest as the other members of the Fellowship, even when he's not out running around in the mountains and fighting. He always looks neat and pretty, but that's just because he's an elf, but his manner of dress especially contrasts with that of his father, King Thranduil, in the Hobbit movies. Aragorn spends most of the trilogy in a "chosen exile", and so wanders around in his Ranger of the North gear. It's only after the Battle of Minas Tirith is won and Aragorn is king of Gondor again that he switches to finer armour.

Shakuntala once has to dress like a prostitute as part of her disguise-and right there decides it would probably be more comfortable then normal clothes for a princess. It also served some practicality for her: a princess would be expected to wear a fairly tight-fitting dress that restricted leg movement while the prostitutes wore loose silk pants... and the assassin-trained Waif-Fu expert knows what she'd rather fight in. Theodora, by contrast is almost always as Imperial as she can get. She grew up a street girl, has had enough of it, and once she gets to be an empress, by golly she's gonna act like one.

Subversion of the usual rule since he's an undilutedly evil bastard: he may ponce around in a gleaming white frock coat/tuxedo with gold trim, a golden pendant the size of a dinnerplate (which is the Centauri counterpart to a crown of state), and white spats, but it's still much more subdued than usual Centauri dress. Hell, even Vir is flashier! Most importantly, he wears his hair short even though the size of a Centauri's hair fan traditionally indicates his status. Played straight with Emperor Turhan, Cartagia's predecessor, who refused to wear a wig in his last days because he wished to appear as he was rather than as tradition said he ought to be.

Even though she wears more tiaras, regal gowns, fancy shoes, and Prim and Proper Buns as a human, she seems to prefer going barefoot with her hair down and wearing the more modest, less regal-looking "Kiss the Girl" dress.
