* Queen Janna in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'' probably counts. There is a potion involved that goes on Ono's eyes, but Janna is the Tree of Life's healer until her death when Nirmala becomes lead healer. Janna also healed Assad in the past. Kion's was just more complex and better left to Nirmala since Janna was too weak to leave the tree cave.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'': Mikoto is the Queen of Hoshido [[spoiler: until her murder helps kick off the plot]], and she's a CombatMedic able to use [[TheArcher bows]] and staves.

* In ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'', Elayne helps heals Rand with a first aid kit in the first book, and her brother Gawyn comments that she is always bringing home injured animals to heal. This isn't mentioned much in later novels and can be considered EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, although Elayne does still have the ability to Heal people with the One Power. Played much more straight with [[spoiler:Nynaeve]] when she becomes Queen consort of [[spoiler:Malkier as the most powerful Healer in history who rediscovered the method of Healing those severed from the One Power, and discovered how to Heal madness, which was barely thought to be possible in the [[TheTimeOfMyths Age of Legends]]]].

*** In the GoldenPath, [[spoiler:the Avatar will become this at the end of the game, if he/she promotes into [[ThePaladin Hoshido Noble]] or switches to a class with healing skills - and stays into such classes when he or she is crowned as King or Queen of Valla at the end of the game.]]

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''. The GodEmperor of Mankind's throne is a holy place, and as such pilgrims hoping for healing come to Terra by the millions, most of them dying of what ailed them or just plain old age while still waiting in line.

* In ''Manga/SailorMoon'', Mamoru Chiba is the reincarnation of the Prince of Earth from a lost golden age. As he comes into his power, he develops magical healing abilities (and it helps that he's studying to be a doctor). This element is present in the manga and ''Crystal'' adaptation, not so much in the 90's anime.

** ''VideoGame/WorldofWarcraft'': King Anduin may be barely 20, but he's a ridiculously powerful priest. The Battle for Lordaeron cinematic has him casting a FLIPPING HUGE spell that lets his wounded soldiers get up safely, and seems to provide at least some healing. In this universe, the bigger a spell is the more powerful the caster: and this spell is at least twice the size of what a player character priest could pull off (from the limited area of the battlefield we can see in the cinematic). This is also true in-game if you go try to kill him with Horde characters. His ability to self-heal and self-shield is absolutely maddening. While this is true for the priest class in general (making them the bane of every pvp players' existence) it's even more true of Anduin.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'': [[spoiler:Micaiah is a young woman with HealingHands who in the end becomes the Queen of Daein. She also has claim to the throne of Begnion, but her younger sister Sanaki is already doing a good enough work as Empress so she stays in power.]]

* Chloe for the Kiseki/Trails of series, has a water-aligned Orbment, that has the best healing spells in the series and she is the princes of the kingdom of Liberl, and the next in line to the throne

* In ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'', Wolfram is able to heal an entire hospital full of sick and injured patients with his BishieSparkle.

* In ''Franchise/BishoujoSenshiSailorMoon'', Mamoru Chiba is the reincarnation of the Prince of Earth from a lost golden age. As he comes into his power, he develops magical healing abilities (and it helps that he's studying to be a doctor).

* The Princes/Princesses in ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey III: The Drowned City'' have skills that can heal as well as increase stats. You can also subclass a Monk (and vice-versa) for them to have more direct healing skills.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': Chrom's older sister Emmeryn is the Exalt of Ylisse and her class is [[WhiteMagicianGirl Sage]], which uses magic tomes and staves.

* Played for laughs in Mikhail Uspensky's novel ''White Horseradish on a Field of Hemp''. In this world, all kings choose what disease they will be able to heal: diarrhea or scrofula (derived from the Russian proverb "If it's not diarrhea, it's scrofula", meaning "Something bad just has to happen"). Every king chooses scrofula, because it's less widespread, less messy and stinky.

*** Out of the Royal Families, Sakura and Elise are {{White magician girl}}s. [[spoiler: They can fully become this if in the GoldenPath, either Sakura marries Elise's brother Xander aka the new King of Nohr, Elise marries Sakura's brother Ryoma aka the new King of Hoshido, or either girl marries a Male Avatar and reigns over Valla with him. The same can apply to any other female that can a)marry any of the above males, and b)can class/reclass into a staff user.]]

Kion’s was just more complex and better left to Nirmala since Janna was too weak to leave the tree cave.

** Technically, the powers claimed by the King of England are those of the King of France. Kings of England claimed the title of the King of France until UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution, shortly before the French [[OffWithHisHead did away with]] their king.

Compare BenevolentMageRuler and FisherKing, which has something of the effect on a grand scale.

* ''Literature/OldKingdom'': In the time period of short story "To Hold the Bridge", it was traditional for petitions to be fielded for the opportunity to be healed by the King on feast days. Morghan considered it for his bad arm, but found out that whose petitions might be heard depended on personal connections and bribe money, neither of which he possessed.

* Franchise/FireEmblem:

* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''. Aragorn is accepted as king of Gondor when he uses his medical knowledge (presumably from both being a Ranger and spending his early years in Rivendell, a literal HiddenElfVillage) after the battle of Minas Tirith. Compounded by his healing also being a supernatural power, in addition to whatever knowledge he collected; the Gondorian royalty have the ability to cure the crushing despair that the more powerful minions of Sauron can inflict. As this isn't a disease in the normal sense, the cure is also quite different from any normal medical technique. The Ringwraiths and other minions of Sauron can make people suicidal out of sheer terror. Aragorn (and Lord Elrond) have the ability to speak so attractively that the person decides not to die. They have this ability because they are descended from the Maia Melian, the Maiar being basically lesser angels. To augment their abilities they use the plant called kingsfoil, or athelas, whose crushed leaves have a calming scent apparently.
