Corrected entry: Only in Germany is a McDonald's Quarter Pounder known exactly as a "Royale with Cheese" ("Royal mit Käse"). The closest otherwise is the French or Portugese "Royal Cheese" but Jules specifically mentions Amsterdam, and a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Holland is just a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Many countries which use the metric system don't bother renaming products that use imperial measures. It's a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Australia, too. Vincent's observation about "Royale with Cheese" being the name of the quarter-pounder with cheese in Amsterdam applies - albeit to Germany, where this has been the official name of the burger for 40+ years.

Correction: He was not talking about Amsterdam, but Paris and in Paris they call it a Royale with cheese.
There is no "Royale with Cheese" in Paris. The French are staunch republicans and wouldn't name any product "Royal." The burgers on offer in McDonalds in France cane be seen here, and there is no "Royale with Cheese" anywhere. Https://www.mcdonalds.fr/produits/burgers.
If they don't use the name "Royal" now, they used to. This is the same page from 2017, using archive.org. Https://web.archive.org/web/20170420100607/https://www.mcdonalds.fr/produits/burgers.

Despite your dubious and unsubstantiated claims (your weblink is broken) that the French wouldn't name any product royal, I have been to a McDonald's in France and ordered the 'Royale Cheese' myself, just so I could say so after PF. You can even see it on the menu here also: https://www.quora.com/Do-they-really-have-a-Royale-with-cheese-on-the-McDonalds-menu-in-France.
I just visited https://www.mcdonalds.fr/nos-produits/nos-burgers as of 12/5/2023, and the first 7-8 burgers listed are called "The Royal", including a "Royal Cheese".
