These are terms that are not associated with the Poodle breed standard in any country presently maintaining a registry for our breed. For that reason, the strict show exhibitors and breeders will point out rather quickly (and sometimes quite unpleasantly) that they are terms you shouldn’t use. Truly reputable breeders and exhibitors are fierce about protecting the standard, and they sometimes forget to be gentle with those who are new.

Basically, the term “Royal” applies to an oversized Standard Poodle and “Teacups” are undersized Toys. Because each country has their own standard, there are variations as to the exact size for each of the three accepted varieties. But overall, these two terms are never used.
