Well, obviously, all royalty are going to have similar vectors. The skipgram is just an implicit matrix vectorization of a shifted PMI matrix. And most royalty will have similar co-occurrences. My point is that the vector components do not mean anything in isolation. There is no dimension directly encoding such properties. The king vector means 'royalty' because queen, prince, princess, etc. are have similar directions.
