You aren't wrong, but being royalty is not much compared to being Named. Rozala mentions at one point recognizing the inherent irony of a princess - a princess with real political and military power, no less - lamenting her lack of agency, but it was true. Even as the second most powerful political force in the Principate, Rozala is just a side figure in the stories she finds herself in. The most agency we've seen of her is her voluntarily surrendering her crown, and even that decision was summarily overturned by her "betters".

Cat is a former Named (though still considered one by Hanno), who has continued to maintain her relevance and agency in things (and, in fact, clawed more and more of it into her grasp since losing her Name). Cordelia manages to hold relevance and agency even in spite of never having a name, and indeed actively refuses a Name when it's all but literally forced upon her. Heck the refusal literally scars her permanently, it was so forceful.
