- Elizabeth is naked at a royal feast.
- Elizabeth demands anyone eating with her to be naked as well.
- Downplayed:
- Elizabeth removes most, but not all, of her clothes before eating.
- Elizabeth eats in a skimpy bathrobe or in her underwear.
- Elizabeth only eats naked when she's alone; she puts on clothes when she has company.
- Justified:
- Elizabeth's a nudist, so eating naked comes with the territory.
- Elizabeth isn't a nudist, but Sleeps in the Nude and can't be bothered to dress herself before eating breakfast.
- Like above, but it's due to Elizabeth showering before breakfast and not bothering with a bathrobe.
- Elizabeth does not own a lot of clothes and eats in the buff whenever her laundry is drying or eats something that could easily stain her clothes leading to another wash.

- Double Subverted:
- ...Only to spill something on it and take it off.
- And then she strips down to full nudity.
- Or, if she stays clothed through this meal, she returns to eating nude at the next meal.
- She only reacts so due to not wanting to expose herself to Alice without her consent. Once Alice reassures her that she's fine with her nudity or leaves, she strips and resumes eating.
- Parodied:
