  Hi there, just to clarify, from your MY SITES dashboard at https://wordpress.com/themes/royaltemplars.wordpress.com you can activate any of the free or Premium themes found in our Theme Showcase https://wordpress.com/themes/

  If you are trying to upload a theme you purchased from a 3rd party or downloaded elsewhere on the web for the open source WordPress software, that would require you to upgrade your site to our Business plan. You can learn more about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/

  Let us know if you have any other question.
