Nope; I believe they are all explained by this phrase: "The King is dead,
long live the King." Corporate royalty need not account to the peasants
for the state of the kingdom and, unless and until corporations have
something akin to a constitution (or at least a Magna Carta, limiting
royalty's powers), corporate Kings and Queens are pretty much free to do as
they please. Until then, the only thing to be maintained is the throne and
the system of monarchy.
Sorry to be so cynical but it's one of those days.
