Members of a royal family who have royal status and rank; or the Kansas City Royals baseball team.
From Old French 'roial,' derived from Latin 'regalis' meaning 'of a king.' The word entered English in the 12th century to describe anything belonging to or befitting a monarch or their family.
Interestingly, the word 'royals' can refer to both actual kings and queens and to a baseball team—showing how a term born from monarchy thousands of years ago gets casually reused in modern American sports.
