Trimarian Court Bingo

Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun.
The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). FREE SPACE Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..."
Somebody drops the Sword of State. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Court is more than one hour late.
Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Two Peers take a joint Associate.

Instructions: Pay attention in court! If you see or hear something described in one of the boxes, mark off that box. If you mark off five boxes in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally -- true diagonal, not "sort of" diagonal), jump up and shout "Bingo!" (and pray that the Crown has a sense of humor).

Drusilla sez: Stultorum quanto status sublimior, tanto manifestior turpitudo!
