I would agree, but for one little bit of the episode: when they go to get voice lessons from Fluttershy and Luna has to actively struggle to speak normally. That's really stupid, especially since it's been set aside as the Royal Canterlot Voice specifically for speaking to subjects, and yet she can't physically speak in a non-declarative voice. It would imply that she hasn't even spoken to Celestia since being freed - even though we heard her do so in the first episode and she talked normally. To be honest this particular point of the episode is just so stupid, talking too loud from being alone all the time is one thing, I had that as a kid, but that isn't what this is set up as and communicated as.
>I disagree on the basis of it being a an element we know little on, would she need announcers?
Well, she's doing announcing, so I'd say so!
>Maybe she prefers doing it herself?
Maybe, but then why all her references to tradition and stuff? Would that not just be her preference rather than tradition if she's acting just out of preference?
She could prefer a tradition but if so she's either butchering the tradition or the tradition is really stupid, it's exhausting to have to be a leader AND a leader's secretary and retinue and staff all at once as one person, it's a completely unreasonable workload to place even upon someone as lowly as a mayor, let alone a monarch. Either she's a stickler for tradition and the tradition is nonsensical, or she's doing things wrong because of lack of resources/preference, in which case she's either deliberately or non-deliberately breaking with tradition.
