Royal is known for being the former campaign manager of current Haitian senator Edwin Zenny. In his acceptance speech, he promised that he shall commit himself in strengthening his district, as well as encouraging economic development and prioritizing the well-being of Haitians in the region. Royal's Jacmel has a population of about 250,000 and consists of four municipalities. It is also a popular tourist destination in the country.

Royal, along with Joseph Ponyon of the district of Baine and Emmanor Déroneth of the district of Belle-Anse, were proclaimed at the Court of First Instance in Jacmel which was attended by several of Haiti's important politicians. The new vice-delegates are given the task to oversee the different functions and projects of their district's government body and at the same time cooperate with one another for the development of the South East. Big expectations face Royal and his colleagues for the months and years to come in truly serving the people and promoting education, employment, law, and other forms of public service.
