Royal v. Imperial

So tired of people confusing these two terms-
Royal should be used if you have a king, etc who rules a kingdom.
Imperial should be used if you have an emperor who rules or ruled an empire. Thus, Emperor of Japan, not king of Japan. Japan has an Imperial House, not a royal house. He is NOT a royal, he is an emperor.

Same with Russia, Iran, Ethiopia, etc.
