Born in San Francisco, CA, Royston lived for most of his life in Northern CA. The Royston Family lived in a residence they owned at 701 32nd Street in San Francisco according to the 1920 US Census. His grandfather, Walter Royston (born c. 1864 in CA) lived with the family from at least 1920-1930; on US Census forms from 1920 and 1930, the elder Walter indicated his profession as a cigar salesman. In 1930, Robert's family lived on the Monterey Highway in Burnett, CA, in Santa Clara County. They owned their own home.

His father, Walter C. Royston (born c. 1890 in England) migrated to the US from England c. 1906. He worked as an engineer in 1920, and a farmer in 1930. His mother was Doris E. Jackson (born c. 1896 in England) who worked as a homemaker according to the 1920 and 1930 US Censuses. They married when he was 24 and she 18.
