Hmm.. I don't know if that conclusion is valid, between me and my breeder partner (we've been breeding around 40 cats since January) I got a royal on my first try, she got a royal on her last box. Our alts are a mixture of first time owner/breeder and occasional owner/breeder. First time alt and occasional owner/breeder alt got a royal on first try too.
We had a plan this time (after that disappointing Dreams of Eire episode) : Breed a pair of cats on 1 avatar, if no royal shows, move on to the next avatar and try to breed from that avatar and so on until we get a royal. We decided not to continuously breed on 1 avatar until a royal shows but rotate the alts so each box produced is spread out. I'm guessing the KittyCats server takes into account the region/parcel the mother cat is in (command to produce a box is sent to the region while it registers you as the owner in the database) but I wasn't sure if region vs avatar ID is another factor in the 'randomness' of the royals, we took no chances and bred kitties in different places too. It worked for us, but since randomness is at hand, this method may or may not work the next time. It's still worth a try when a special edition comes up again
