Tales of queer love play a central role in fictionalized stories about royal families, such as Red, White & Royal Blue and more recently Young Royals and Mary & George. However, we rarely hear about real-life royals who are out members of the LGBTQ+ community.

King James I is also rumored to have same-sex relationships. His alleged relationship with George Villiers inspired Mary & George.
