- ↑ Unlike other royal consorts, at the time of his marriage, George I was a sovereign ruler in his own right as the Elector of Hanover. Consequently, much like Spain's King Philip II, George I was, over the course of his marriage, jure uxoris King of the United Kingdom and also stadtholder of the Dutch Republic.
- ↑ Prior to the ratification of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was officially styled as a princess consort of Orange as the spouse of the ruler of the Dutch Republic. However, with the formation of the new United Kingdom of the Netherlands, she was officially styled as queen consort in light of the elevation in titles. Likewise, she was also elevated from being Hanover's electress to queen consort.
- ↑ Out of all the royal consorts in British history, at only a year long and having lived until around fifty-three years only, Princess Caroline of Brunswick is both the shortest-serving and youngest-lived royal consort.
- ↑ .With a difference of twenty-seven years, Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen is the royal consort with the largest age difference with her husband. On the other hand, both George I and Princess Louise of Prussia are tied for the smallest age difference with their respective spouses from whom they are only three years apart in age.
- ↑ At just sixteen, Princess Louise of Prussia 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. Otherwise, the oldest woman to become a royal consort is Princess Caroline of Brunswick who only became queen consort at fifty-two years old. Rather fittingly, she is also the shortest-serving royal consort at no more than a year long.
- ↑ As per a mutual agreement between the couple, Princess Sophia of Prussia, as well as her husband King George IV, 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.
- ↑ Interestingly, Princess Sophia is directly related to her predecessor Princess Louise who, through her father, is her aunt before later becoming her mother-in-law upon the former's marriage. Even more, her first daughter-in-law Princess Victoria Louise is her niece through her older brother.
- ↑ As of current, Princess Margaretha of Sweden 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. Moreover, she is also the first American and non-European to serve as a British royal consort.
- ↑ 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. In addition, she is also the second American and non-European to serve as a British royal consort.
