Also means
regal
Usage Note
königlich derives from König ('king') plus the adjective ending -lich. Beyond the literal 'royal', it works colloquially as an intensifier meaning 'tremendously', as in sich königlich amüsieren ('to have a royally good time').
Examples
"Das königliche Schloss ist riesig."
Natural Translation
The royal palace is huge.
