Royal?
Tunbridge Wells has been attracting visitors since a young nobleman discovered the Chalybeate Spring 1606. It soon became accepted as a spa resort within easy reach of the capital. It was a place to see and be seen. King Edward VII officially recognised its popularity with its many royal and aristocratic visitors by granting the town its "Royal" prefix in 1909.
