Seeds from this species ...
... are difficult to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
I have been operating a nursery tree seedling project for over 8 years. I then had the idea of planting ornamental trees. I started with the Royal Palm (Roystone regia). I tell you, I tried some by direct planting in the pots then others in a seed bed. I watered evenly for over 40 days but the results were very poor. I think the seeds were from a bad source. I will not give up planting though. They are on very high demand here in Uganda. I will also need your advice at a later stage.

...difficult to germinate.
No success with growing this palm, seeds must be fresh to germinate and I don't think the ones I got were (not
purchased from this site).

The Roystonea Regia seeds sprouted in 8 days in moist peat moss
and perlite mix in sealed plastic containers in a constant environment
temperature of 90 degrees. The seeds were soaked for 4 days prior
to planting.

I had five seeds that I soaked in water for two days, the water
changed every day. The seeds were placed in moist vermiculite at
a steady temperature around 85˚ to 90˚ F. Germination
started after five weeks. I received a germination rate of 80%,
4 out of 5 seeds.
