These outside gates are made of iron and are somewhat decorative in design.  The tops are spiked and there's a family crest that hangs on both the left and right gate telling people who resides here.

I am the daughter of the King and Queen. I am known as the princess of the village. I will be married off to a prince from another village very soon. A peace treaty will closely follow the wedding.
I intend to go riding in the forest around the castle for a few hours. Ah, of course. Perhaps I should accompany you. I've heard that orcs have invaded the forest and are causing all sorts of shenanigans. I would enjoy some company. You of course know who I am, but I don't believe we've met. Are you a new guard? I am. My name is Jameson. My father, James, was a royal guard for many years, but was injured in battle. Ah yes, I remember him from when I was a young girl. You have his eyes. Thank you, Ma'am. Shall I ride that grey mare over there? I know you like to fast pace. I believe she can keep up with you. Yes, I believe she'll do.  I'll be riding Arion today. I will ride slightly behind you to watch for any evildoers in the area. It's hard to believe orcs would venture so close to our walls. You say some were sighted in the woods? Yes, and mercenaries, as well. We have had some serious problems. But I guarantee your safety as long as you ride with me. Thank you, Jameson. I will miss these woods. As you have probably soon I will be married to Prince Selcier I have, indeed. The Prince is a very lucky man.
