Why were differences among the three types of colonies -royal, proprietary, and charter- important?

Royal colonies were controlled by the king and the British parliament. Proprietary colonies were given as land grants to people who would control it and be something like governors and this was done often because the crown would owe money to the colony governors. Charter colonies were made by companies that controlled them and governed them without being related to the King.
