Do we know why the Royals wanted it in the first place? I mean, we know they wanted it and could help them rule the world, but if the Royals are well aware of Wesen and we don't know if they are Wesen (never had any evidence that they were) maybe the artifact could give them access to a dangerous, ancient Wesen that would help control other Wesen, or - if going down the route the artifact turns humans or Grimms into Wesen - the Royals would get what they wanted; they could turn into, maybe a powerful Wesen, and thus would probably command and control Wesen much easier and without the use of Grimms.

I think it either leads to a dangerous origin of Wesen, an ancient Wesen, or a device that could turn humans (or maybe even Grimms) into Wesen.
