Irina Softball, Yes, "royality" is an actual word. It is, however, rare and considered obsolete. It has the same meaning as "royalty". I would say that anyone using it today is either mispelling royalty or being very inventive with the language for rhyming purposes. Don't use it any academic or serious commercial writing without a footnote. -1678 Sir G. Mackenzie Crim. Laws Scot. --It was found, that His Majesties Palace were in Law no part of the Regality, but off the Royality. -1652 H. L'Estrange Amer. --The Royality in Lacedemonia hath predominated both in War and Sacrifices.

I have never heard of a word "royality" in modern English. The urbandictionary.com deals with slang, but even there, only two sample sentences are offered, and the second one is clearly the case of someone making up a play on words: reality - "royality". I don't know why wordnik and pinterest refer to "royality," and can only suspect that the usage is mistaken.

I would advise you not to use urban dictionary for learning language. Most of the people who use it can barely speak English themselves ;) It's got way too many spelling mistakes and just random words/phrases that nobody really uses, since anyone can go on there and type whatever they want.
