A royal consort is the spouse of a reigning king or queen. Consorts of British monarchs have no constitutional status or power but many have had significant influence, and support the sovereign in his or her duties.[1] There have been 11 royal consorts since Britain's union of the crowns in 1707, eight women and three men.
For the royal consorts of the predecessor realms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, see List of English royal consorts, List of Scottish royal consorts, and List of Irish royal consorts.
