The thing is not so easy as it doesn't sound. J. Evans, D. Ritchie, and D.
McEvoy and S. Ward should be able to educate us on that.
There's royal charts.
Take Convent Garden -- the Opera House. Strictly, R. O. H. The ROYAL Opera
House. This means that it's recognised by the crown.
The Academy -- not just any academy: The Royal Academy.
The Royal Society of Architects.
The Royal Institute of Philosophy
The Royal Society of Literature

There are many, too many, institutions that hold the label, "royal". It may
be open-ended. They are not ALL TOO old. They are at most "Anglo-Norman".
"Royal' is an Anglo-Normal word.
Royal Shakespeare Society
Royal Society for the Preservation of Rights of Birds,
and so on.
--- maybe there is a wiki essay on how 'royal' applies to groups and
institutions in England (and Wales and Scotland and Ulster).
----'royal' means 'by appointment of HRM The Queen'.
