Royalty

Royalty refers to individuals who hold a high rank within a monarchy. This typically includes kings, queens, princes, and princesses, as well as other members of the ruling family. Royalty often signifies a lineage or bloodline that is recognized by the state and its people as having authority or status associated with governance or ceremonial roles. The concept of royalty encompasses both the governing powers of these individuals and the cultural significance they hold within a society. Members of royalty may have specific privileges, duties, and responsibilities, including involvement in state affairs, ceremonial functions, and philanthropic activities. In a broader sense, the term can also describe the royalty payments made to authors, inventors, or creators for the use of their work. However, primarily, it denotes the status and lifestyle associated with royal individuals and families.
