Answer:

Royal colonies were founded under a royal charter. Their governor and colonial council were appointed by the king of England. Such charters provided for a representative assembly and support for the Church of England. Corporate charters, on the other hand, were granted by the king to a company of investors. The management of a corporate colony was up to the directors and shareholders of the company.

Corporate colonies were ran by joint stocks thus allowing investors to have a vote on how they would like the colony to be ran. Royal colonies were under the direct order of the monarchy (King+Queen).
