royals was more about her being disenchanted with how unreal music is with how materialistic it is. it's not so much about her being a povvo, anyway

She's disenfranchised
because she can't partake in any of the things detailed in any of these materialistic songs, because she's "povvo." Hence the verses where she details how poor she (supposedly) is.
I really don't care about her sincerity, but the song is obvs just sour grapes dressed up as social crit anyway. Some critic (idr who) called it a more sanctimonious version of Jessie J's Price Tag, which is SO on point. It's trash.
I just really hated it.
