- Royal because royalty and divinity is the human being's birthright
- In the western tradition, all symbols and myths are pointing towards kingship
- All symbols of royalty and the entire idea of royalty is meant to be an earthly representation of a divine state
- Art because it is a craft, a practice, a skill, a way, a path….
- Because it is is both an art and a science
- Because at it's heart is Beauty & Truth
