Royal Assent is basically approval from Her Majesty. Royall assent will formall enact legislation. Back in the day, the Queen had to approve every piece of legislation before it could actually become law. Today, it's really, like RACooper said, a formality. It's done out of tradition. However, in Canada, the Governor General will give royal assent because she is the Queen's representative here.
