''The only reason that worked for me was the fact that Gwen once proved in front of the court that she was more than just a serving girl when she challenged Agravaine and helped the citizens of Camelot by convincing the court that opening the gates of the castle was the better idea. This could contribute to some of the nobles accepting Gwen but it could never work with everyone or with other kings and queens outside Camelot.''

I'd say that it's more likely that that would make the nobles more hostile to the idea of her being Queen, not less. Even if some of them were more or less tolerant of the idea of Arthur marrying a servant when if thought that her role would be a decorative one, they'd be bound to get worried if they thought that she intended to stick her nose in affairs of state. Her background means that her viewpoint is going to be different, and different is likely to be troubling to those who are already in a very privileged position and don't want to see their power and influence diminished. Arthur would have to be besotted to consider marrying a servant, which means that she'll have his ear, and if she's prepared to argue with the Regent in front of the Council - not even voicing her concerns privately - when she's still just a servant, they can't hope that she'll limit herself to being arm candy if Arthur marries her. She will be involved in affairs of state and her agenda is likely to be very different from theirs.

To a conservative noble, I'd say that Guinevere speaking out in Council would make them even less willing to see her as their Queen.
