↑ .With a difference of twenty-seven years, Adelaide is the royal consort with the largest age difference with her husband. However, at thirty-eight, she is not the youngest woman to become royal consort.
↑ At just sixteen, Louise is the youngest woman to become a royal consort in British history when she married King William V in 1856. Aside from this, at fifty-five years long, she is also the longest-serving British royal consort.
↑ As per a mutual agreement between the couple, Sophia, as well as her husband King George V, are the only ones to have not been buried in the United Kingdom. Instead, they were buried at the George and Sophia Memorial in Ottawa, Canada.
↑ As of current, Margaretha was and remains the only British royal consort to have not been the first wife of the monarch, with Margaretha instead being the second wife of King Frederick whose marriage to his first wife Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia was annulled in 1919 before Frederick himself later married Margaretha in 1925.
↑ Having never converted to Anglicanism throughout her entire life, Lauren Bacall is therefore the only British royal consort to ever be of the Jewish faith. In addition, she is also the longest-lived British royal consort, having lived until the age of eighty-nine.
↑ As a result of the passing of the Succession to the Crown Act 1995, Christy Turlington remains to date the only British royal consort to ever be of the Roman Catholic faith. Beforehand, as per the Royal Marriages Act 1772, British monarchs were prevented from marrying Roman Catholics with the ensuing punishment being disqualification from the line of succession to the throne.
