There are 'Royal Societies' for all sorts of organisations - for example - RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) or RSPCC (Royal Socety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) and many more. It just means that they have royal patronage.

One organization which is often referred to as simply "The Royal Society" is The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge.

It was established in 1662, and nowadays acts as an advisory body to the British Government, and as the UK Academy of science as well as funding scientific research.
