Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~AnneHenry_9801~~AnneHenry 9801.jpg\|link=The Tudors\|frame\|When this is your wife, it certainly is [[Mel Brooks\|"good to be the king"]].]] Line 14: See also [[Dark Mistress]]. {{examples}} == Anime and Manga == * Emperor Daibazaal of ''[[~~Go Lion~~GoLion]]'' had a concubine who looked a lot like Princess Fala. Unfortunately, he ends up having her killed.▼ ▲* Emperor Daibazaal of ''[[Go Lion]]'' had a concubine who looked a lot like Princess Fala. Unfortunately, he ends up having her killed. * All the male love interests in ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', although, in the manga, {{spoiler\|Hanon and Rina acknowledge that they'll have to leave their human boyfriends to [[Royals Who Actually Do Something\|rule their countries]] rather than have both.}} * Marianne of [[Code Geass]]. == Film == * Rupert Friend as Prince Albert in ''[[The Young Victoria]].'' * Buttercup in ''[[The Princess Bride (film)\|The Princess Bride]]'', even if {{spoiler\|she never actually got to be Queen and it was all a publicity stunt}}. == Literature == * Arwen of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.▼ ▲* Arwen of ''[[Lord of the Rings]]''. * Guinevere of the [[King Arthur]] legends. * In ''[[Dune]]'', Paul marries the emperor's daughter, but also has Chani, who is basically his wife in everything but name. Line 50 ⟶ 47: * In [[The Royal Diaries]] book ''Elisabeth, The Princess Bride'' the Emperor defied his mother in his choice of who to marry because of Elisabeth's beauty and spirited nature. == Live -Action TV == * In ''[[Stargate: Continuum]]'', in the changed timeline, Baal has Qet'esh as his Queen. Qet'esh being Vala with a Goa'uld in her. ** Not that she's satisfied with being [[The Starscream\|just a consort]]... Line 61 ⟶ 57: * In ''[[Blackadder]] Back and Forth'', {{spoiler\|King Edmund III}} is married to gorgeous [[Robin Hood\|Maid Marian]]. Lampshaded in the ending theme: "At last, a king who looks the part/ At last, a queen who looks good naked". * Looks like Blair is going to be one in ''[[Gossip Girl]]'', though it's anyone's guess if she'll actually go through with the marriage. * Cersei Lannister from ''[[Game of Thrones]]''. ** Also Margaery Tyrell. Incidentally, played by [[Natalie Dormer]], who also played the aforementioned Anne Boleyn on ''The Tudors''. * As of series 4 of ''[[Merlin (TV series)\|Merlin]]'', Guinevere has become Arthur's Queen Consort. == Video Games == * Some of the endings to the ''[[Princess Maker]]'' games have her being a consort in some way. To either the [[Dirty Old Man]] King, the much younger Prince... or [[Satan\|Lucifon the King of Hell]]. * Depending on your choices at the [[Succession Crisis\|Landsmeet]], the ''player'' can become one of these in ''[[Dragon Age]]''. Or, depending of the gender, have one. [[The Mistress\|Or two]], if he plays his cards right. == Western Animation == * Three of the [[Disney Princess~~\|Disney Princesses~~]]es: [[Cinderella (Disney film)\|Cinderella]], [[Beauty and the Beast\|Belle]] and [[The Princess and the Frog\|Tiana]]. Male examples include [[Aladdin (Disney film)\|Aladdin]], [[Tangled\|Flynn]], and [[Atlantis: The Lost Empire\|Milo]], especially that in the case of [[Adorkable\|the last one mentioned,]] rather than becoming a prince he actually goes straight to becoming a ''king'' ([[Cree Summer\|the princess]] he married at the end of his film was already [[The High Queen\|a queen]] by the time of their marriage).▼ ▲* Three of the [[Disney Princess\|Disney Princesses]]: [[Cinderella (Disney film)\|Cinderella]], [[Beauty and the Beast\|Belle]] and [[The Princess and the Frog\|Tiana]]. Male examples include [[Aladdin (Disney film)\|Aladdin]], [[Tangled\|Flynn]], and [[Atlantis: The Lost Empire\|Milo]], especially that in the case of [[Adorkable\|the last one mentioned,]] rather than becoming a prince he actually goes straight to becoming a ''king'' ([[Cree Summer\|the princess]] he married at the end of his film was already [[The High Queen\|a queen]] by the time of their marriage). ** And of course in the case of the [[Furry Fandom\|animal]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|kingdom,]] there's also [[Robin Hood (Disney film)\|Robin Hood]], [[The Lion King\|Sarabi, Nala, and Kovu.]] * [[Yamato Nadeshiko\|Princess Ursa]] of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]].'' She never did get to be Fire Lady, though, since she was banished before [[Complete Monster\|Fire Lord Ozai's]] coronation {{spoiler\|for assassinating the previous Fire Lord and therefore putting Ozai on the throne.}} == Real Life == * [[Marie Antoinette]], especially in fictional depictions of her. ** Especially Norma Shearer in the 1930's, Michele Morgan (with her mesmeric blue eyes) in the 1950's, and [[Kirsten Dunst]] in 2006. * Carla Bruni, wife of Nicolas Sarkozy. (She was already a sex symbol, being a well-known fashion model and singer, previous to her marriage.) * Queen Rania of Jordan and the former Queen Noor. Queen Rania is so stunningly gorgeous, in fact, that ''[[The Onion]]''{{'}}s ''Our Dumb World'' atlas - which spends its time mocking every single country in the world - instead spends the entirety of Jordan's entry gushing over her and wondering where they can find someone like that. * [[Comically Missing the Point\|Palestine, although Queen Rania is Palestinian via Kuwait]]. Yeah, women from [[wikipedia:Bilad al-Sham\|the Levant]] are up there. It was a good political match, too: over 50% of Jordanians are actually Palestinian. * Jackie Kennedy * Dolley Madison * Some of [[The House of Tudor\|Henry VIII's]] wives. At least Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Anne of Cleves was an interesting example~~---~~: she was from an important Protestant family as it was, but Henry made his final decision to marry her only after having an official portrait done and brought for him to judge. The problem was, the artist purposefully painted her without her pockmarks (as was usual at the time), so Henry apparently got upset when he saw her, never consummated the marriage and had it annulled six months later. Anne Boleyn wasn't considered beautiful by various foreign ambassadors, but she was very clever and vivacious. Katarine of Aragon, the one Henry left, was the most beautiful princess of Europe in her youth. And Anne of Cleves was described as prettier then Catharine Parr and Jane Seymour, Henry just couldn't stand her because she'd mistaken him for a servant when he visited her for the first time unannounced. * Byzantine Emperors had a habit, during the heyday of the Empire, of picking the Empress from beauty shows. IWe kid you not -; examples include the lovely and talented Empress Theodora, wife to Emperor Justinian I (she started her adult life as a prostitute), and several subsequent Empress-Consorts. ** That custom was also known among many oriental countries. It sounds more appropriate for polygamy where the husband doesn't have to worry about whether he actually ''likes'' his wife as a person instead of as [[Am I Just a Toy to You?\|a hobby]] because he can always try another wife for that purpose. * [[Mary of Scotland\|Mary Queen of Scots]], during her brief stint as Queen-Consort of France. * Subverted by Charles, Prince of Wales who chose Camilla Parker-Bowles over Princess Diana. More or less [[Justified Trope]], as they were lovers for quite a while before Diana ever was ~~into~~in the picture. In fact, if not for the detail that Camilla wasn't a virgin ''and'' married to somebody else, she would've possibly been Princess of Wales. Also, from reliable reports, Camilla is much more attractive in person than her photographs would indicate. Some people just don't give good photo, so to speak. * [[Grace Kelly]], wife of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. * Dictators generally don't have any problems fulfilling the trope requirements. Combining [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]] with the ultimate alpha male power has ... disturbing consequences to one's faith in humanity. * Famous [[Gender Flip~~\|Gender Flipped~~]]ped example: Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg, consort of Good [[Queen ~~Vicky~~Victoria]]. * Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (formerly Kate Middleton), wife of Prince William (who is ~~second~~heir ~~in line~~apparent to the British throne - and no slouch himself). * Believe or not, but William's grandfather Prince Phillip was [[I Was Quite a Looker\|once]] [http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/08_04/philipweddMS3108_468x748.jpg rather] [http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kw731y8GQi1qzanljo1_400.jpg dashing]. Particularly in that [[Good -Looking Privates\|Royal Navy uniform of his]] ([[Royals Who Actually Do Something\|which he earned, thank you very much]]). * Judith of Bavaria, queen-consort to Louis, King of the Franks. * [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/HRH_The_Princess_of_Asturias.jpg Letizia, Princess of Asturias], wife of Felipe, prince of Asturias, and future Queen of Spain. * Margaret Trudeau, wife of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. * Melania Trump wife of American real estate magnate [[Donald Trump]] is a Slovenian model and an American socialite. * [[Barack Obama]]'s wife Michelle. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Royalty and Nobility Tropes~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Marriage Tropes]] [[Category:~~Hot~~Royalty ~~Consort~~and Nobility Tropes]]
