Initially I forgot that Bard was the previous King's younger brother and instead thought he was Shiela's brother.

Same here until the confession. It did not help that Bard looked very similar to Sheila with the long blonde hair. Livi had black hair after all, hinting that the King would be the same as well, which would suggest that the King's siblings would share the same trait.

The show needed to hit the blonde bishounen quota, so it makes sense in that regard.

He was the previous king's brother, so we can assume the previous king's own father and mother were one dark haired and the other a blond, to produce offspring of both kinds. Considering all this, we seem to be able to assume it's a long tradition in that country for dark haired king's to seek blond consorts, Livi being no different.
