The public has been fascinated with royal romance for many years now, obsessed with princes and princesses who get their fairytale ending. We’ll admit it – it can be easy to get wrapped up in the courtship of individuals who look like they live in a fantasy world, and it’s a feel-good pastime for many. Today, with so many public appearances, paparazzi shots, and social media accounts, it’s easy to monitor every move of your favorite royals. But who takes the cake for cutest royal couples?
1. Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge – United Kingdom
These two win by a long shot, with people from all over the globe adoring their love story. They started out as university sweethearts and turned into the future king and queen in a blink. They’re one of the most recognizable royal couples, known for juggling their high-profile public duties with raising their three kids.
2. Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia – Sweden
This couple got married in 2015 after a courtship that was modern and highly scrutinized. Princess Sofia worked as a glamour model and reality TV star before she joined the family, which led many to criticize her, but that didn’t stop this power couple. As a key part of Sweden’s royal family, they’re more relaxed than a lot of the royals on this list.
3. Prince Félix and Princess Claire of Luxembourg
Prince Félix, the second son of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and his wife, Princess Claire, like their privacy, and they’ve somewhat maintained it since they got married in 2013. Their love story is quite similar to William and Kate’s in that they met as students and remained friends before sparks flew years later.
4. King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark
Mary Donaldson was once an Australian advertising executive, and she met Frederik at a pub in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics. They have one of the most inspiring love stories in Europe. They stayed strong through a two-year long-distance relationship, and Mary then learned Danish, converted to the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and won over the Danish people.
