Rex, King of Carnival, arrives in New Orleans on Lundi Gras (the Monday before Mardi Gras) and issues a Royal Proclamation officially proclaiming it to be Mardi Gras. After he finishes the Proclamation the Mayor must concur or there is NO MARDI GRAS!!!!! After which he gives Rex the key to the city and Rex is the LEGAL King of New Orleans for one day! Here's the Royal Proclamation for 2010!
