There is a particular princess in the local memespace with nigh-absolute current authority.
edited to clarify: by ‘local memespace’ I mean the part of the global memespace that is in use locally, not that there’s something we have going that isn’t known more broadly
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.
Maybe “Princess” would be best, considering everything.
hmmm.. no It definitely has to be a word that implies current authority, not future authority.

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.)
Let’s just say BDFL (Benevolent Dictator For Life)...
Insufficiently wacky - would invite accusations of authoritarianism/absolutism from the clue impaired.
