** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', whoever ends up marrying Edelgard or Dmitri at the end of their relevant storylines, and whoever marries Petra. Potentially subverted by Byleth should she marry Dmitri, as she is made into the new Archbishop of the Church of Seiros, meaning she holds arguably equal rank with Dmitri. Completely averted at the end of the Azure Wind route, as [[spoiler:Claude steps down as the Alliance's leader]] at its end. Though should Petra marry them, then the situation becomes reversed with her as Queen of Brigid.

* During [[ComicBook/XWingSeries X-wing: Warrior Princess]], [[RightfulKingReturns Rightfully Returning Princess]] Plourr meets her cousin/fiance for the first time in decades and finds that he's become a Fabio type--tall, muscular, long flowing hair. He's also utterly devoted to her, and despite sharing some of the royal blood never takes the title Prince or Emperor.

* ''Series/StarTrek''. In the evil MirrorUniverse, an attractive female member of the ''Enterprise'' crew is the "Captain's Woman."

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius'': For Elincia, [[spoiler:Geoffrey]]. For [[spoiler:Micaiah]], [[spoiler:Sothe]]. [[spoiler:Almedha was this to Ashnard, but it's way more complicated.]]

* In ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'',Katrina Steiner, Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth, made an interesting proposal to the other house lords. Only Hanse "The Fox" Davion, First Prince of the Federated Suns, showed any interest. To cement their new alliance, Katrina offered her only daughter, [[http://www.sarna.net/wiki/File:Melissa_Steiner-Davion.jpg Melissa]], as bride to Hanse (who was nearly 30 years older than Melissa). [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage They made it work]], and had five children. The eldest, Victor, would symbolize the union of the two realms and would be heir to both. Hanse also offered up the Capellan Confederation as a prize to his bride during their wedding reception, prompting the Fourth Succession War.

* As of series 4 of ''Series/{{Merlin}}'', Guinevere has become Arthur's Queen Consort. The position comes with a considerable upgrade in hair, make-up, wardrobe and jewellery.

* This is a minor plot point in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''. [[spoiler:Princess Mipha had been in love with resident ChickMagnet Link and had been planning on [[ChildhoodFriendRomance asking for his hand in marriage]] before she was killed. Convincing the royal adviser Muzu that Link was her beloved via TheGirlWhoFitsTheSlipper is what allows Link to aid Sidon in stopping Vah Ruta. Given that Zelda is also confirmed to be in love with Link, he might still end up as a consort after the events of the game.]]

* In the ''Trespasser'' expansion for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', if the Inquisitor romanced Cassandra and she was named the new Divine, they become a chaste version of this. They never are able to officially be together, but everyone can tell they love each other and remain close. Their relationship goes on to inspire ballads.

** [[spoiler: Rand al'Thor]] ends up in a polygamous relationship with three super-hot women--[[spoiler:Elayne, Aviendha and Min]]--as his wives/consorts. It's good to be the [[spoiler:Dragon Reborn]]. Well, not really, but there are perks to it.

*** [[spoiler:Girl!Robin subverts the trope if she marries either [[TheEmperor Walhart]] or [[MasterSwordsman Yen'fay]], as she falls for either them '''after''' they have left their respective lands upon defeat. (And in the case of Yen'Fay, he comes from the BadFuture as well.) But if she goes for the West-Khan of Ferox, [[BoisterousBruiser Basilio]], she might play it straight. The same goes to a boy!Robin who marries the Ferox East-Khan [[CoolBigSis Flavia]] and ''maybe'' one who marries the FallenPrincess of Chon'sin Say'ri (should she restore Chon'sin and reign over it).]]

** It's heavily implied by the show's finale that [[EmotionlessGirl Mai]] is set to become one for Zuko; they are currently broken up in the comic book continuation, but clearly still harbor feelings for each other. It's also known from the SequelSeries that Zuko has at least one child, a daughter named Izumi who succeeds him as Fire Lord, at some point.

* A gender-inverted version in ''Series/BlakesSeven''. In her introductory episode, Supreme Commander Servalan is mentioned as having a highly 'decorative' staff. At least one of these {{Pretty Boy}}s is strongly implied to be her lover.

* In GreekMythology:
* The king and queen of the gods were Zeus and Hera. The latter's beauty was only rivaled by Athena's and Aphrodite's, but that didn't stop Zeus from taking many lovers.
* [[Literature/TheTrojanCycle Helen]] was the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman, competed over by all the Greek kings who finally swore an oath to help her husband protect her. Thus, her abduction (or taking off with) by Prince Paris of Troy (who judged the beauty of the three goddesses above) became the excuse for the Trojan War.

* In ''Series/{{Blackadder}} Back and Forth'', [[spoiler:King Edmund III]] is married to gorgeous [[RobinHood Maid Marian]]. Lampshaded in the ending theme:

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': For Chrom, either: a girl Avatar (default name: Robin), Sumia, Sully, Maribelle, or Olivia. All double as {{Badass Princess}}es and {{Action Mom}}s, as this doesn't mean either lady will leave the battlefield after marrying [[spoiler:and mothering Lucina (though her own predestined children [[note]]Morgan, Cynthia, Kjelle, Brady or Inigo, respectively[[/note]] technically ain't born... yet.)]]
