As others have said: if the Royal Canin isn't getting eaten, try other brands. Royal Canin isn't the only one out there with good options, even if the vet has recommended it. (As someone who has been in pet-related industries for quite a while now, I will also say: vets are often paid to recommend foods! Take all vet recommendations with a grain of salt, and the same goes for other pet-professional recommendations. When I worked in a grooming salon, we were paid to recommend Eukanuba. I used to point at their decal on my smock and tell customers, 'I'm supposed to tell you that this is what I'd recommend. What I actually recommend is...')
Solid Gold, Natural Balance, Blue Buffalo, and probably a dozen others offer grain-free cat foods. Natural Balance has a line called "L.I.D." (Limited Ingredient Diet) for pets with food sensitivities. Blue Buffalo has something very similar, called Blue Basics.
When I worked in a pet store, I had a lot of (admittedly, dog owners rather than cat) swear by the Natural Balance food. I don't think the Blue Basics were around then, but if the labels sound similar they'd be worth trying as well.

Good luck!
