Explanation

Plebeian historically refers to common people or the working class in society, as opposed to the aristocracy or elite. The King's dismissive tone - 'How did such... ever get in here?' - reveals his disdain for ordinary people entering his exclusive space. 'Commoners' is the perfect fit, while other options either miss the class distinction entirely or add negative connotations not present in the original.
