* The Kit series in ''Literature/AmericanGirl'' has this as the backstory for her parents, Margaret and Jack Kittredge. Margaret came from some degree of money--her only remaining relative, Hendrick, is a wealthy miser in a large mansion and she has very upper class ways, while Jack was raised in the Kentucky Appalachians by friends of the family after his own parents died and comes from country stock. They've been married for years by the start of the series and have a sixteen year old and a ten year old, but Uncle Hendrick still talks poorly of Jack including in front of his daughter Kit, and laments that if Margaret's mother--and his sister--could see how low she's fallen socially, it would break her heart. Margaret also feels shame when they start growing vegetables and raising chickens in the backyard, worrying it makes them appear lower class and "country."

** Zigzagged with Alex and Henry's relationship. Alex, as the biracial American from a working class family, is technically way beneath Henry in status. However, as the child of an American President and an American Senator, he could still be considered a perfectly respectable partner for a prince. What ''actually'' disqualifies him from being a potential suitor, at least in Mary's eyes, is that [[GetBackInTheCloset he's a man]].

** Henry's parents, Arthur Fox and Catherine Mountchristen-Windsor. The late Arthur was an extremely famous and wealthy stage and film actor, best known for his role as Franchise/JamesBond in the 80s. He'd be a perfectly acceptable to outright spectacular suitor to just about anyone -- anyone but Catherine, who is ''the Crown Princess of the United Kingdom''. As a result, Catherine's mother Queen Mary [[ParentalMarriageVeto tried to forbid their marriage]], but the two were too in love to relent and got married anyway.
