Diplomacy is not King Richard's strong point for a reason.  Well, two reasons, actually.  First, he tends to overlook things that are obvious to everyone else, especially in social situations.  And second, he's not fond of doing things that make him feel uncomfortable, such as socializing, so instead of practicing and trying to get better at that weakness, he's practiced running away from it until he's become very skilled at getting away from situations he doesn't like.  He's definitely Albert's father!
