Royal Governors

Royal governors were officials appointed by the monarch of a country, such as England, to oversee and manage its colonies. They acted as the monarch’s representative, enforcing laws, managing colonial affairs, and ensuring loyalty to the crown. These governors had authority over local governments, military forces, and economic activities within the colony. Their role was to maintain order and implement policies directed from the home country, often balancing local needs with the interests of the empire. Essentially, they served as the bridge between the colonial territory and the distant ruling government.
