Royal consorts are the spouses of ruling monarchs. Historically, British royal consorts have often had little hard power. But they have often exercised their influence in smaller ways. For instance, there is no doubting the impact that Prince Phillip had on Queen Elizabeth II over the 73 years of their marriage.
But in some cases, royal consorts have been powerful in their own right, in some cases even seizing the throne from their partner to become ruler. From Eleanor of Aquitaine and Catherine of Aragon to William of Orange and Prince Albert, these are the most powerful British royal consorts in history.
