Is it known in advance which King is royal, or is this hidden too?

No. This is hidden but it is only revealed when that King is involved in a capture.

Can the royal King have any charge?

The white Royal King has a positive charge, while the black Royal King has a negative charge. 

What happens when your royal King gets captured, or destroys itself in the attempt to capture on a square with an unfavorable field? It seems that moving your royal King to a square with a field where the capturing piece would disappear makes it immune to check or checkmate.

Neutral charged pieces can still deliver checkmate. 

Charges and fields are only revealed when a capture is attempted?

Rules like this tend to make a game very hard for humans, while it would stay easy for computers

You are right. 

A straightforward method would be to cover all squares with tiles that have the field written on the bottom. The game would be a lot more user-friendly if tiles would remain flipped after having been revealed.

This looks like a great idea. I'm going to update the rules right now.
