8 Celebrities That Have Dated Royalty

If we’re talking about the two most glamorous lifestyles one can have, we easily end up with either being a celebrity or being part of a royal family. It’s a lifestyle where odds are you’ll never have to wonder about making ends meet financially, and – let’s be honest – you’ll never have to work as hard as most people.

It only makes sense that if you’d be a celebrity, the only way to go up in lifestyle is to either date or marry someone that’s part of royalty. You can work yourself up to fame, but you have to be born into royalty or get married into it. The fact that it’s that much harder to obtain makes it more exclusive and therefore more attractive.

Let’s take a look at some celebrities that made the jump to royalty – be it permanently or temporary.

Meghan Markle

In case you weren’t aware of this: Meghan married Prince Harry. Well, I guess now we just call him Harry since they left the British Royal Family. They have a child together named Archie and they’re currently making plans to move to the US and start a life there.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Despite never having been officially confirmed, 2002 was plagued by some rumours that Gwyneth Paltrow was being very friendly with the Spanish Felipe VI. There probably wasn’t a lot to this story, but Gwyneth never took the effort to either confirm or deny them, so I guess we’ll never really know if something was going on between those two.

Jessica Chastain

Jessica’s husband, whom she married in 2017, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, turns out to be of Italian aristocratic descent. His family’s legacy dates all the way back to the 1300s, and they naturally had the wedding in Gian’s family’s huge estate.
