If you image-search ‘obey princess’, you will get a hint. Note, the result is… an alicorn.
But more seriously (still not all that seriously), there would be collossal PR and communication disadvantages given by naming a king, that would be mostly dodged by naming a princess.
In particular, people would probably overinterpret king, but file princess under ‘wacky’. This would not merely dodge, but could help against the ‘cold and calculating’ vibe some people get.
I am getting this “whoosh” feeling but I still can’t see it.

Luke_A_Somers is referring to Princess Dumbledore, from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, chapter 86.
I’d love to read that chapter!
(Almost certainly a reference to the animated series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, in which Princess Celestia rules the land of Equestria.)
