How do you thicken royal icing?

Looking for tips on thickening royal icing? I'm into this topic because I recently made one and it turned out a bit runny . What's your method for making it thicker? I tried adding more powdered sugar sadly, it didn't quite do the trick. Any suggestions to save my icing from being too thin? Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

In my opinion, adding a small amount of meringue powder to the royal icing can help it thicken and set faster. Though it's important not to overdo it, this method can provide stability to the icing, especially in humid conditions.
