To put it in the most simplest terms, the Royals are humans with a LOT of wealth and power. Adalind said, in reference to the House Of Kronenberg, that they had their hands "in a lot of pies," so they definitely had a lot of connections and had a widespread presence or influence. Right on par with you saying they have a lot of political pull, though they don't have so much of a say with Grimms like they used to. They were really only allies of convenience, but I think dating all the way back to the Fourth Crusade, and perhaps even further, Grimms were always wary of the Royals having too much power. I think there's probably just a genetic marker that can be tested for in order to see if someone has "Royal blood" or is in the Royal bloodline, just like a DNA test, but with this show having its supernatural aspects, I think there's certainly the possibility that there's some other special component involved there.
