Much as I know, intellectually, the theory on the Prince pairing, I still can't feel it as emotionally truthful: the way I see it, the Prince can totally toy with Gedra, it's just not much of a challenge.
As for who's more the anti-Queen, I guess it's a matter of what attributes you look at. Jade has no patience with the niceties of court, while Gedra is willing to play along with them. I'm pretty sure that was Scott's perspective.
Maybe there should be something in Mirabilis's story hinting at how obsessive he is? I'm pretty sure we told his story more than anyone else's. (I think it goes roughly Mirabilis, Prince, Selle, Tachrymon, Samangelov, Kieron/Armster.) I think that particularly in the context of a dance where there's *supposed* to be wooing going on, it's hard to tell the difference between a gallant and a stalker, even well-played.
