If royal-adjacents count..

Carina Axelsson (now Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg) has written several children's/YA books.

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/621036.Carina_Axelsson

I actually really like her Model Under Cover series. They are fun little YA mysteries.

I was going to link her website, but it seems to not be working anymore. Carina hasn't published anything new for a few years, so I wonder if she is still writing or if something happened with her publisher. She used to do quite a bit of promotion, but has stopped completely and the third book of her Royal Rebel trilogy never seems to have actually been published.

 

[CyrilVladisla]

In 2008 Prince Michael of Prussia wrote Auf den Spuren der deutschen Monarchien.

 

[Lori138]

Although not Royal, Charles Spencer, Earl Spencer has written several books. I have only read the White Ship and it is excellent. Well written, well researched and kept me interested all the way thru.
