1. royal

   Royal denotes that which actually belongs or pertains to a monarch; the royal residence is that which the king occupies, royal raiment that which the king wears. Regal denotes that which in outward state is appropriate for a king; a subject may assume regal magnificence in residence, dress, and equipage. Kingly denotes that which is worthy of a king in personal qualities, especially of character and conduct; as, a kingly bearing; a kingly resolve. Princely is especially used of treasure, expenditure, gifts, etc., as princely munificence, a princely fortune, where regal could not so well be used and royal would change the sense. The distinctions between these words are not absolute, but the tendency of the best usage is as here suggested.

   Synonyms:
   august, kinglike, kingly, magnificent, majestic, munificent, princely, regal

   Antonyms:
   beggarly, contemptible, mean, poor, servile, slavish, vile

How to use royal in a sentence?

1. Art DeGaetano:

   We can't point to anything specific, it's just the way the jet stream bulged and set up. It's random, like a deal of cards. Sometimes you're dealt a royal flush, sometimes you get nothing.

2. Rutger Bruining:

   The audience for them is quite broad, look at [Prince] Harry’s memoir, for example. You’re going to have royal watchers and supporters who are probably an older demographic reading the book, as well as potentially younger readers who are interested in Harry and Meghan’s story or their philanthropic endeavors. Obviously, a certain level of interest in the memoirist’s area of focus – whether they’re an actor, or an athlete, a trauma victim, or a royal – is going to have an impact on whether a reader picks up the book, but I think it’s less important than for other categories or genres.

3. Waight Keller:

   The veil was a huge part of the conversations that we had early on. We talked about what we wanted to do in terms of trying to embrace some of the royal connections in there, and a lot of the work that she's going to probably do in the future is going to be connected to the Commonwealth ... and I said 'wouldn't it be amazing if we took the 53 countries of the Commonwealth and embroidered a flower and some flora and fauna from each one of those and that they would go up the aisle, that journey up the aisle with you'.

4. Jessica Morgan:

   For Americans, the royal family is not a political issue, for us, they are like a very long running soap opera.

5. Jim Willett:

   The numbers here have grown again and Royal Canadian Mounted Police are going truck to truck giving people an ultimatum. They have a facility to start towing vehicles and that's what I expect to start seeing next.
