Yes, Wilsdorf was quite the Royalist, as were many Germans up to the First World War, due to Royal family connections on both sides. And of course his wife and her brother (Rolex co-founder Alfred Davis) were British.
There were many other regal-sounding Rolex-registered brands, models and lines over many decades, such as Prince, Princess, Viceroy, Queen, Royal, King George, Prince of Wales, Queen Alexandra, Crown Jewels, Coronation, Prince Imperial, Monarch, etc.
