Could this page explain what "royal patronage" actually means?
AFAIK, all Royal Burghs were explicitly abolished by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 in 1975, which would make them all "former royal burghs". Their status, if you can measure one legal system against another, was akin to an English borough incorporated by royal charter, rather than a royal borough... Lozleader 17:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Would cities that have a Royal Charter given to them be OK to include even if they may not have anything Royal in the name of it? The C of E. God Save The Queen! ( talk) 10:24, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

On a little reflection this list article is getting a bit out of hand. Without a proper definition from somewhere other than Wikipedia this is also getting close to original research.
The very first section on this talk page questions the definition of "royal patronage" and actually the four Irish examples seem valid as they were specificailly named or renamed (as were Maryborough and Phillipstown).
At the moment we have the table at the top which lists verifiable places that are/were either royal boroughs or royal counties, and we have mostly been able to get sources for these.
The rest is decidedly iffy, a lot is just places that happen to have "King's/Kings" as a prefix, probably due to historic land ownership and/or to distinguish similar named communities, rather than specific "patronage".
Anyone have thoughts on how to refocus and tighten up the list? Lozleader ( talk) 15:12, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
That's a funny phrasing. "You're entitled to the title whether you like it or not!" I'd suggest language like use of the prefix 'royal' by entities not entitled to it has been strictly forbidden. Either way, there's the question of how the entitlement or forbidment is enforced, other than strictly. — Tamfang ( talk) 04:51, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
