This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The title ‘Royal’ is a privilege granted by the Queen and not by the Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to recommend to Her Majesty that she grant the title "Royal" to the NHS.
