I liked the imperious hauteur, but I felt that the sneering needed a little work.
Also, I have to question the wisdom of anyone wearing a green cloak with that eye-colour.

I think I'd like to see the entrance again - but this time with the addition of a hat, or possibly a crown. Finding it just a little difficult to buy into the imperiousness without headwear.

Sorry. Was just getting prepared to do the entrance again.
Right!
~sweeps in through doors, escorted by 2 stags and a tree ent. Sun light glistening off of several polished sapphires studded into a top hat. Walks full stride down the red carpet and pauses before the throne to turn 180 degrees over a full 80 seconds. Doffs top hat with a flourish and rolls it along arm towards hand holding a cane where the hat comes to stop, perched atop the cane. Beams at all 5 spectators and gives a sly wink to a particularly handsome guard. Laughs heartily and sits down~
How was that?

Oh I did. I thought that the process of sitting down was far too boring. I would've used some authentic flatulence but I couldn't organise any curry for dinner last night so synthetic would have to do.
~Massive double doors swing open revealing entourage of 6 noble stags, 2 (vegetarian) tigers and a cloud of butterflies. These creatures frame the entrance as I stroll in, sweeping the royal green coat behind me. Ends walk at the throne and turns slowly to beam at the crowd. Realises that a rogue microphone has entered the camera's field of view. Slumps down~
Oh sod it. It's not a full feature film and we're not even being payed for it. Let's just photo shop the old shoot and use bits of that entrance...
~bodyguard tackles rogue microphone to the ground and drags it outside~
*carefully removes seat of throne revealing bottomless pit*
Try once more. :D

Look its an easy mistake - I'm sure you said vegetarian tigers but what I heard was vegetarian eating tigers.
We'll just have to go again and this time without the tigers, and the noble stags, obviously. Oh, and health and Safety have a bit of a problem with the length of the coat, trip hazard apparently.
