Vote on the royalty-themed romance anime you'd recommend to others.

There's something so fascinating about the lives of royalty. Whether they're enacting sweeping political changes or simply dealing with messy private lives, a life of nobility is far outside of the realm of most people's reality. That's why the romantic lives of the monarchy can be so interesting - especially when they're anime characters. 

For this list, we're counting down some of the best royal romance anime out there. Snow White with the Red Hair is a beloved, well-known anime about an herbalist who falls in love with a handsome prince. The Apothecary Diaries features an herbalist who gets caught up in a historical, Chinese-inspired Imperial court where her medicinal knowledge helps her fight crimes. But there are other great series that aren't quite as well-known, like Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte, an anime that turns the isekai concept on its head

While some of the shows on this list are great anime about princesses or kings, there are some with other anime royalty like dukes or barons. So, what are the best royal anime shows? You can decide. Vote on your favorite anime series that involve royalty below!
