Dear god. Sounds like someone was being mean spirited and cruel. Do they not remember Ilsa having crying, screaming tantrums when Dag lost? Joy should always be encouraged.
There will always be people who expect you to be a motionless (and emotionless) statue when you are queen. That allows them to be in charge, not you. Nuts to them. You must be the person and Queen that you are. You will not be able to please everyone, and that can be hard. But if you are not you, you will please No One. And that would be much worse.
I have an eternal, perjorative option of the Ladies of the Rose. There are wonderful individuals, but as a group I'm sad to see that facts continue to validate my opinion of the "public face" of that select group of noblility.
The SCA is better for the broader, more egalitarian approach where each person gets to approach the game in their own way with their own joy, rather than being stamped into the mold "ordained" by a semi-faceless cohort.
Human mistakes happen, the Best humans are the ones who quickly correct the mistake without drama and learn.

I'm glad you had that moment!
