    It means that royalty is not all that important a thing, in actuality. It is a bonus that is nice to have (a feather in the cap) but is not of much true value. Let the children enjoy their rattle basically says, let those people who think royalty is actually important, go on pretending. There is no harm in letting the "children" play with their toys.
