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.
