Answer:

Royal colonies were owned by an individual proprietor or by a small group of proprietors under a charter from the monarch, [ while corporate colonies had a charter granted by the English monarch to stockholders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proprietary colonies were granted by the king to a proprietor or head of a proprietary family, who owned the colony by title and governed it as he saw fit. Royal colonies were controlled by the king through his representative, the royal governor.
