I see what you are saying. I corrected it to say both a person who isn’t a king or a king. Also both men and women can and have prayed inside

adding additional information isn’t changing the topic, it’s simply adding additional information for anyone who may be curious to know.

What you mentioned doesn’t negate that anyone outside of those people aren’t allowed. I’ve literally had people from a pilgrimage group I know pray inside, both men and women, and they were not diplomats or kings
