>[royal family is exempt]

They don't return to this because it's from a book..

But lemme guess, it's because the royals are an impersonal institution? Like ABBA. (If you wonder how the Swedes can square jantelagen and their fascination with US-style star power..)

Jante* is for individuals

Related historical question to ponder is why the political position of peasants in Scania were largely unchanged post-Reformation (ie after the Counts Feud) as compared to their cousins in the South.
