Shawn S, here is the main issue, I have discovered that if you have never used a particular resource pack on a Realm. Way before this bug was present, then unfortunately you will be unable to apply that resource pack. However some users will benefit from this and be able to use existing resource packs as temporarily solution, until Mojang decide to fix this issue permanently.  

Hello there people of the internet, it has come to my attention that I may have found a simple and effective solution to the global resource packs not working on Minecraft Realms for bedrock users. First off this fix will only work if you still have all of your realm backups! For example if you only have one realm, here is what you will need to do: Start by loading up Minecraft bedrock on whichever device you play on except for pocket edition (MCPE). It is preferred that you play Minecraft bedrock edition on either an Xbox One or laptop/desktop. Once you are in the main menu, navigate to the screen that will display all of your Realms. Once you have selected your desired realm, click on the pencil icon and this will then take you to the editing options. You then want select the backups tab, bringing you to a screen with all of your recent realm backups. In order to restore your realm with your desired resource pack, you will then need to select any of the numerous backup tabs with the display of the word name and date. This will then bring the following on screen: "Replace the Realm with the Backup". It is the up most importance that you click on this tab and allow the realm to show you the "We are replacing your Realm with the Backup" tab. Once the replacing is complete you can now load up your Realm to see if it has restored back to defaults. If the Realm has been unsuccessful and is still displaying in default; you will need to keep trying to replace the same Realm with different backups until you finally select the correct file. Thus meaning the Realm now has been restored with your desired global resource packs. Please note that when replacing your backup files, you will either get lucky on the first file or you may need elevation and will need to use trial and error until you finally get your Realm working properly! Unfortunately for those who have current or a lot of data on your old Realm backup save; you will most likely lose any or all data associated with your savegame.dat file. This will impact the following: if you have any player saved progression, this will very likely be removed and refreshed. In addition, if and when you do restore your realm please note that your global resource pack will still show under "available packs" however it will continue and fail to show under your "active packs". Furthermore the reason for this is purely due to the bug within the ".json files". I am sorry for any inconveniences and hope that you are able to successfully apply this information thus restoring your Realm. Please don't hesitate to ask any question or quires that you may have. You can reach me here on Xbox One under "The Rookie lll", or you can simply reply to this post. Many thanks, goodluck!
