royal domain
Monarch's sovereign territory
Royal domain refers to lands, territories, or property belonging directly to a monarch or crown, as distinct from lands held by nobles or the church.
Historically, income from the royal domain supported the sovereign's household and government.
The term extends figuratively to any sphere where someone holds supreme authority: Foreign policy was considered the president's royal domain.
