In fact, she even used it to her advantage at one point, when taken hostage by pro-Imperial nobles, she willingly surrendered, hiding behind her status as Princess Organa for the simple fact that the rules of etiquette and noble conduct explicitly forbade the deaths of noble hostages. She was also aware of, and educated in, the aristocratic intrigues and shadow games of the nobility. Leia from the EU would be uncomfortable, but she knew it was an open secret that Alderaan, while having no power projection ability, possessed defensive systems comparable to any Core System. Instead, Alderaan is a neo-feudal world governed by mutually-jealous and competing noble houses, where plots, counter-plots, treason and conspiracy abound. The most shocking thing would be the fact that Alderaan isn't a peaceful world without weapons, all crystal spires and togas with stereotyped people constantly spouting 'peace, freedom, and democracy'. Though, it's not just House Thul being backed by the Sith, and ruling over Alderaan in the Empire's name that would shock Leia.
