Vivamus:
Here are all uses of the word "king" in all five books:

Loads of references to King's Cross station

Chess kings.  In PS/SS, "The white king took off his crown and threw it at
Harry's feet."

CoS: The Basilisk is the King of Serpents

OOtP: Weasley Is Our King, in three variants.  First, by the Slytherins,
then "Luna, on the other hand, sang 'Weasley is our King' dreamily under her
breath and stirred her drink with a cocktail onion on a stick," and,
finally, the Gryffindors singing what is almost certainly Luna's rewritten
version.

Also a passing reference to NHNick singing something that sounded "horribly
like Weasley is our King", several references to Ron by Malfoy as "Weasel
King" and a reference to Weasley is our King by Ginny when they are planning
how to get into Umbridge's office.

And that's it.

Luckdragon:

It does appear that the only references so far to royalty are based on the Weasley(Ron)is our King theme. 

I looked up the origin of corned beef and found it was a dish served in Ireland which was more likely to be served to a king than the people? Hmmm...

But how could royalty fit into the Weasley family without anyone knowing? There is of course the coincidence of the names Arthur and Percy being related to the King Arthur tale, but even if Arthur as "King" of the family were to die; Ron is the youngest boy and least likely to take on the title.
