Who doesn’t love a romantic book about romance amidst a monarchy and a royal court?
Because there are SO many royal YA books, I’m doing three separate lists: contemporary royal romances, historical royal romances, and YA royal fantasy romance!

Fantasy royal books offer the opportunity to incorporate imaginary kingdoms, magical elements, fae and fairy characters, and/or all kinds of supernatural happenings into a story. Royal romance is usually part of the story!
Hope you enjoy YA books about Royalty: Fantasy royals and I hope you will add your own favorite titles in the comments!
