Royal Mystery
I am trying to restore a 20 inch bike and the only labels I can find are the head badge "Royal" and the same on the vertical tubing below the seat. Does anyone know who the manufacturer is? The badges have a background color, blue.

Royal? Depending on the age of the bike it could be one of dozens of manufacturers and if it is a lowend kids bike it could have built for any of hundreds of retail chains through the US and Canada.
Any good pics of the bike before the paint was removed?

This is a WAG, but the fleur de lis and the bleu, blanc, rouge badge may mean Quebec.

The decals do seem to match Royal tire a Canadian company that sold tires and sporting goods. They sold relabled bikes made by numerouse Candain and US makers.
