regally
In kingly fashion
In a regal manner—with the dignity, bearing, or grandeur associated with royalty.
Someone who moves regally carries themselves with stately grace: She waved regally from the balcony.
The word often carries ironic overtones when applied to ordinary people acting imperiously: He regally dismissed our concerns.
