The Royal Family brought more than two centuries of history to San Diego July 31st through August 3rd, turning the harbor city into a hub of laughter, music, and memories. Descendants of Fant and Phyllis Royal, who raised four sons: Doye, Morris, Dave, and Robert (and lost two daughters at birth), arrived from across the country for a four-day reunion that celebrated their legacy and looked ahead to the future.

Relatives traveled from Georgia, New York, the Carolinas, Arizona, Florida, Utah, Detroit, California, and beyond. The San Diego committee: Saladin Martin, Eventa Brown, Latesha Fields, Monique White, Amanda Jones, Dajon Howden, Dar Mims, Maurice Johnson, and Ishajuwan Saunders organized the events, ensuring the family had plenty to eat, dance to, and remember.
