give the royal treatment
Treat like royalty
To give the royal treatment is to treat someone with exceptional care, attention, or luxury—as if they were royalty.
The phrase usually describes pampering or going above and beyond: The spa gave us the royal treatment.
It can be sincere or ironic, depending on whether the treatment is genuinely lavish or merely adequate.
