What did royal women wear in africa? i'm writing a book and would like to know for refrences.

This really depends on the year. Some African women would wear beads, to show their status. The royal women didn't really dress too differently from their citizens, although there may have been a significant difference between patterns on the fabric. I'd guess they had something ornamental upon their heads. I do recall learning that women who (Research this, because I'm not too sure) showed great warrior-ism wore golden neck rings, which they wore at all times. If they took them off, their head would be unsupported and they'd be paralyzed or die. Also, what is your book's genre? My book that I've written is fantasy.
