I am facing the same issue. My friend is hosting a realm from Canada. I and the rest of my friends are all from Asia. We started the realm a few days back. Version 1.16.201. When the members (me and my other friends) try to play it gives the same prompt saying that my internet connection is bad and it was unable to load the realm. I was literally in a call with them over perfect internet. I kept trying but nothing happened. I was using the Windows 10 edition. I restarted Minecraft, restarted my laptop but all in vain. I tried to join the realm with my phone but the same thing happened. No one was able to join except for the host himself. The only way we could join was by pressing on his name in the 'Joinable Friends' while he's playing on the realm. That worked just fine, but what's the point of a realm then? The point of a realm is that everyone will be able to play whenever they want. If someone has to stay online all the time, we could just have someone keep a multiplayer world open. That will be free as well. I hope realms are fixed soon or this will be a significant issue for us users, if you care about us at all.
I am a guest of the realm. I am using an ASUS Zenbook 14 UM425IA with the windows 10 edition of the game. My friend invited me via using an invite, which I accepted. I hope the info helps. Just saying, I don't think this is a device issue since my other friends are also facing the same issue. Frankly, not only us, but everyone else who is a guest of the same realm.
It most probably is due to the updated rendering engine introduced in the recent updates- the Render Dragon. we'll just have to wait till new shaders are released for the new engine...
