Trappings of princehood

From George:
We were driving to day care one morning, and I was telling Gwenchik a story about knights and king Arthur, when she interrupted.
Gwen: Did you know that Lesha has a sword? And a shield. Lesha is my prince.
George: Really?
Gwen: He also has armor. And a pirate hat. That is why he is my prince.
George: Doesn't Fedya also have a sword and a pirate hat?
Gwen: Yes, he does. But he is not my prince. He is my friend, but not my prince.
George: And what about Kolya and Shane? Do they have swords and armor?
Gwen: No, they don't. They can be the guards outside the walls of my castle.
