It’s literally outright stated that the ruler of the Birdmen has the freedom to love whoever they want. And from the Queen’s reaction that falling in love with Tihla was not an issue of itself nor something she could do anything about - which implys that having a concubine or secondary consort is legal and morally acceptable within the Birdmen country.
It only became an issue for the Queen and the supporters of the crown prince when the crown prince became suicidal.
And judging from how they are in the minority - the birdmen in general were celebrating that there would be a new royal child - that further cemented that the Ruler of the Birdmen is allowed to have open relationships.
While my personal morals don’t agree with that (I prefer monogamy). Trying to apply my personal morals to a country and situation where my morals are obviously not what is considered the standard by which things should be judged would just make me look foolish and ignorant.
Not getting the hate for the King and Tihla.
