1. royal

   Royal denotes that which actually belongs or pertains to a monarch; the royal residence is that which the king occupies, royal raiment that which the king wears. Regal denotes that which in outward state is appropriate for a king; a subject may assume regal magnificence in residence, dress, and equipage. Kingly denotes that which is worthy of a king in personal qualities, especially of character and conduct; as, a kingly bearing; a kingly resolve. Princely is especially used of treasure, expenditure, gifts, etc., as princely munificence, a princely fortune, where regal could not so well be used and royal would change the sense. The distinctions between these words are not absolute, but the tendency of the best usage is as here suggested.

   august, kinglike, kingly, magnificent, majestic, munificent, princely, regal

   Antonyms:
   beggarly, contemptible, mean, poor, servile, slavish, vile

1. Priyanka Chopra:

   I don’t think anybody else would be able to do it the way she will. She’s just right for it, she’s an icon, truly, that girls can look up to, that women can look up to. She’s normal, she’s sweet, she’s nice, she thinks about the world, wants to change it and this was even before any of this happened. So I do think Meghan being a part of the royal family is a big step in the direction of so many things; of women, of feminism, of diversity, of race, of the monarchy versus everyone else. It’s a beautiful step in the right direction.

But it's never about the media following you around because...if you're a royal, that's part of what you have to do, it's the other versions of it: going to interview people's parents, that kind of stuff that it starts to step into a really dark place...It just, sort of, the press turned on them and...I think people should be a little kinder. She's a young woman who just had a baby.

   We've been camped here outside the hospital for 15 days, we've been coming out doing this for 21 years. We were here for George and Charlotte and we'll be there for the royal wedding too.
