Despite the initial reference to Roisel, France (the family's home prior to the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D.), the proud and noble English surname of Royal survives with no small amount of alacrity amidst the erosional sands of time and mistful memories of the early residents of Kent, where they were granted lands and held a family seat from very early times.

There are many spelling variations of this surname, and some of the family is known to have made significant contributions to the various places that they subsequently emigrated to, such as Ireland, Australia, and North America. One good family history, written by Violet Coe Munford, is titled "The Royal Way West". There must be more, perhaps in listings of British peerages.
