You can still activate them, but Royal Decree negates all other traps except itself, so they will be negated. You can however activate such a card like Seven Tools of The Bandit to negate the activation of Royal Decree itself and destroy it, because Royal Decree does not apply the negation effect until it resolves.
Trap Stun, Royal Decree.
'Negation' can have two different contexts. You can negate a card's activation (meaning the resolution never happens) or just negate the effect (meaning it resolves but does nothing). Solemn Judgment can negate activations, Royal Decree negates resolutions, and also switches off the effects of continuous traps.If you negate the activation or the effect of Normal Traps and Counter Traps, then that means you don't get their effect. If the negation effect destroys them, they will go to the graveyard on destruction, otherwise they will go to the graveyard when the chain finishes resolving.If you negate the activation of a continuous Trap card, then it is unable to remain on the field, and it will go to the graveyard.If you negate the effect of a continuous Trap card, then it will be able to stay on the field, however will do nothing until the negation effect ends. So if it was an active Royal Decree that was negating it, its effects will become active again if Royal Decree leaves the field. This goes for both chaining a negation effect to the activation of the continuous trap, or activating one later on, while the continuous trap is face-up and active.
Yes. Royal Decree only negates the resolutions, it does not negate nor prevent activations.
Jinzo, Royal Decree and Trap Stun negate the effects, Trap Jammer, Solemn Judgment, Seven Tools of the Bandit negate both activation and effect.

Seven Tools of the Bandit is a counter trap, and therefore spell speed 3. If your Royal Decree is set, then you may not activate it in chain because it is only spell speed 2. If Royal Decree is already active though, it will negate Seven Tools when it tries to resolve.

If royal decree is not in the chain, yes. However, if your opponent activates, for example, mirror force, then you chain trap jammer, then they use a trap jammer, you would not be able to activate royal decree because it's got a spell speed of 2. Only counter traps have a spell speed of 3 and to counter a card, you need to play a card that is the same or a higher spell speed. So in the example, mirror force would not be negated because their jammer would negate yours.
Jinzo, Royal Decree and Trap Stun negate the effects, Trap Jammer, Solemn Judgment, Seven Tools of the Bandit negate both activation and effect.
When Royal Decree is first activated, Dark Bribe can negate the activation of that trap card and destroy it. However, once Royal Decree has been on the field and the chain resolves (or for over one turn) in Yu-Gi-Oh, then it can no longer be destroyed by Dark Bribe.
another word for royal decree
Any Counter Trap card, such as Counter Counter or Seven Tools of the Bandit, can chain to/ counter another Counter Trap card; including Solemn Judgment.Some people might be confused due to Counter Counter being printed without the "Counter" symbol in some countries. This error was fixed and printed correctly in other countries and in later versions.
Yes, the effect only works after the effect resolves, so you can activate it in a chain to "Royal Decree". Cards like "Dust Tornado" can even destroy "Royal Decree" as it is chained to "Royal Decree"'s activation. When the chain resolves, "Dust Tornado" will destroy "Royal Decree" and "Royal Decree"'s effect will disappear since it is no longer on the field.
If Raigeki Break targets a Spell or a Trap card, Curse of Royal can be chained to it to negate it.
