A small gold crown and an espresso the size of a thimble
Royal Lounge is the joke version of the oil-painting portrait. The crown is real, the attitude is real, and the tiny espresso is what stops the whole thing taking itself seriously.

What is in the scene
Your dog wears a small gold crown and round sunglasses, with an espresso cup on a saucer beside them and a relaxed, faintly imperious posture. It sits in The Classics collection, one shelf along from the full renaissance treatment - this is that idea in a modern room.
The photo that gets the best Royal Lounge
A crown needs headroom. Use a photo with space above the head rather than one cropped at the ears, or the gold ends up perched on the very edge of the frame. Straight-on and level is better than looking down at your dog, which flattens the top of the skull where the crown has to sit.
The full list is on the photo guidelines page - good light, face visible, one pet, and nothing covering the eyes.
How it prints
Gold is a value, not a hue - it only looks like metal when there is something dark behind it to reflect. Berry and black both give it that. On a pale garment the crown becomes flat yellow, and the sunglasses end up carrying the portrait instead.

Royal Lounge questions
How is this different from the Royal Portrait style?+
This is a scene: crown, shades, espresso, drawn in the house photoreal look. Royal Portrait is a medium - it repaints your pet as a renaissance oil painting. You can browse those separately under styles.
Does the crown cover the ears?+
It sits between or in front of them depending on the ear set in your photo. Upright ears usually frame it, which tends to be the better result.
Can I preview it on more than one shirt colour?+
Yes, and it costs nothing. The colour picker re-renders the same artwork on any of the sixteen garments before you decide.
