* 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.

** 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. I 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.
