Inherited job security with better hats and worse privacy.

means Belonging to or befitting a king or queen — of the crown, its family, or its affairs.

from From French 'roial/royal', descending from Latin 'regalis' ('kingly'), rooted in 'rex' ('king') — the same root that gives us 'regal' and 'regime'. 'Regal' slid in straight from Latin, while 'royal' took the scenic route through Old French, which is why English ended up with two words for basically the same crown.
