It doesn't mean jack if you don't have the connections, the status, the power. Societies differ but in monarchical societies, aristocracies, and noble commonwealths the bottom class rarely have any rights. You could be right as rain but if you aren't both valuable and have a higher ranking backer, then you will either be cast away by your backer or fall victim to the classist society. There is no victory for the socially powerless. You could have great strength and wit, be a mage surrounded by the magicless, but society will always crush you beneath its heel if you go too far from the established norms especially in societies devoid of popular rule. Even in the case of revolutions, so long as the soldiers stay obedient to the regime it will always fail. There are few revolutions that succeed if the military doesn't let. And those that do generally occur due to either external factors, such as heavy war casualties and foreign intervention.Considering the friend's reactions so far, my vote is on the prince threatening her to play along or else.
Also, from reading Bookworm, I say don't ignore them, listen well and take notes. The egoistic type always end up admitting to something stupid during their ego trip or say something that you can toss it right back to their face later.
