Is there a quote or saying about a man who is equally at home among royalty as among beggars? Or something like that? any help or direction would be much appreciated!

I know this isn't the one you are looking for, but I love it:

“I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.” ~~Elizabeth I (Queen of England 1533-1603)

And there's this attributed to an old English folk song:

I'd just as soon a beggar as king,
And the reason I'll tell you for why;
A king cannot swagger, not drink like a beggar,
Nor be half so happy as I.
