Despite what some would like to believe, there is no inherent majesty in royalty that radiates off them, save for certain Speculative Fiction stories. This is why they use special accessories to make their station clear to everyone looking at them. Since this is done in Real Life, why should fiction be any different? As for fiction, The Law of Conservation of Detail means one of these can't show up unless it has something to do with royalty, however tenuous. The wearer could be actual royalty, or it could be a contest where the winner is given a crown and/or cape, hence being given a sort of recognition as royalty. (Or, of course, in a culture where the monarch selects the heir, it can be both.) Of course in fiction, the Ermine Cape Effect is often applied, so royalty tends to wear one or more of these constantly, unless they are Modest Royalty. In European royalty, the most common ways to identify royalty are: A Crown. How can you have an Awesome Moment of Crowning without a Cool Crown? Okay, you can, but it just wouldn't be the same. Be it circlets, Gem-Encrusted tiaras, or those big, fancy imperial crowns, a crown is probably the most commonly used symbol of royalty in the world. A Grand Cape. Any cape, robe, or overdress (which some queens wore as state robes) that is decorated with either ermine, some other expensive fur, or some other extravagant fabric or decoration (gold embroidery is also common). This is the second most commonly used way to identify royalty. In Theatre, it's actually preferable to a crown, because it's larger and would of course be more visible to the audience (take the page picture). Some are larger than others; for example, the cape used for coronations of Russian emperors weighed 60 kg (150 lbs). Common colors for these robes are Gold, Vermilion, Blue, and Purple. In terms of ermine specifically, since the breakdown of sumptuary laws, nobility and even sufficiently rich women have worn ermine garments, including capes. But in fiction, the grand sweeping capes are still almost exclusively for royalty. Adding symbol motifs to them is common, especially if it is part of a nation's crest or flag. A Throne. which is the chair the royal personage sits on. In some early cultures this isn't a chair but some other kind of seat, like a stone. In some cases, like a few west African cultures, there's a stone inside the chair. There's also the Stone of Scone under the Coronation Chair at Westminster Abbey. Not to be confused with The Scone of Stone. A Sceptre. A staff with a fancy ornament on top. Fiction usually acknowledges that it's just there to look impressive, unless it's justified by having magic powers or using it as a weapon. Can vary in length. In some cases the sceptre itself may invest the bearer with the monarchy's authority, allowing them to deliver rulings without directly consulting the ruler. The sceptre is descended from a ceremonial mace, used to literally browbeat recalcitrant nobles back into line. A Royal Ring. Or course Royalty has plenty of rings, but in fiction The Law of Conservation of Detail applies, so if a ring is mentioned, it will have some significance. Often this is a way to identify the long lost heir, or a way to mark royal seals (as they often were used in Real Life), or sometimes they have magical powers. The royal seals are sometimes on a "Signet ring", which is very important. Some royal houses have Keepers of the Seal, whose job it is to guard the seal, although it usually is not on a ring in that case. An Orb. Usually carried only for coronations and the paintings thereof. Usually topped with a crossnote which inspired the look of the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The orb is supposed to symbolize God's rule of the whole world, and the ruler being chosen to enforce that control of their lands. Pimped-Out Dress. This is optional in modern times, but if the story takes place before the 20th century (or the equivalent thereof in the world the story is taking place in), a queen or Princess will own at least a handful of these (usually colored pink), unless she has run away or been exiled from royal life. The peeresses will have their own fancy dresses, just never as grand as the royal ladies'. Fancy Gloves. This is also an optional trope, but if the story takes place in the 1870-1914 period (e.g., The Prisoner of Zenda), the queen or Princess will be wearing these (usually in white kid leather) on formal occasions. Fans. Another optional trope. A queen or princess may carry around a decorated fan, while a King or Emperor may be surrounded by courtiers carrying a large banner fans as a symbol of his authority. Bling of War. Same as above, but for kings and princes, if the setting is the 1700s or after. Often they will wear it even in times of peace. A Sword. A suitably pimped out sword, which symbolises the ruler's role as protector of the people, as well as supreme commander of the military. And, of course, good for slicing up people who didn't respond to application of sceptre. Swords are ubiquitous in any medieval-type setting, but a sword is still a common piece of regalia. A key. Keys are rarely seen outside the context of a coronation, but are still used as a symbol of the king's possession of the land, as well as the king's rights as the utmost arbiter of law. A Ruff. Although this well-known collar isn't limited to royals, it's still incredibly fancy (and very archaic) and a good indication that the wearer has a great deal of wealth and/or power, and also, most likely, that they think very highly of themself. Nobles can also make use of regalia when they are working directly for the king, or when there is no monarch, to indicate the chief of a council of nobles. They wear special stripy mantles of their own, dependent on rank, and even have a coronet (a small crown with no arches) for very special occasions. Other times there is a Dress Code dictating what regalia the royals and the nobles wear. Also, in some fiction, these tend to have magical properties related to royalty. Even if not, these will rarely be as heavy, delicate, or cumbersome in fiction as they are in real life, unless it's explicitly mentioned as a Take That! to royal life. A Super-Trope to Ermine Cape Effect (in that the regalia is worn no matter the situation). Compare Impractically Fancy Outfit, Gold Makes Everything Shiny (which a lot of regalia uses). This item is available in the Trope Co. catalog. |

Moriarty famously caps off his spree as London's "Consulting Criminal" in Sherlock by breaking into the Tower of London and dressing himself up in the Crown Jewels, complete with ermine cape. He's very proud of it, based on how he highlights it to Sherlock later on. | |

In Dune, the Emperor's throne is carved from a single piece of rare quartz. It's actually one of the few pieces of regalia they allow themselves; to show off their command of the Sardaukar (the reason they have the throne in the first place), the Corrino Emperor Shaddam IV wears military uniforms and displays the captured flags of defeated Houses. | |

In Heralds of Valdemar: Valdemar has Royals Who Actually Do Something, who forego the trappings and simply wear extra-nice versions of normal Heralds' white uniforms. Their only other concessions to rank are circlets: gold for the Monarch, silver for the Heir. Once Tremaine takes the throne of Hardorn, he gets a goldsmith to make him a similar circlet. Unfortunately, he's still stuck with wearing the full crown for formal occasions. The Eastern Empire has an Iron Throne forged from the personal weapons of the monarchs of conquered nations. |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), there was the Crown of Acorns, a major symbol of power created through the Source of All. It was bonded to the equally powerful Sword of Acorns and could be used by both the Acorn royals and those with powerful magical potential. The mainstream crown was destroyed by Sir Connery when he used his Sword of Light to destroy both corrupted Acorn items. | |

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the Penguin King is the only penguin in the Ice Kingdom to wear any royal clothing - specifically a crown and an ermine cape - which immediately telegraphs that he's the king. He wears them even after Bowser throws him and the penguin soldiers into his prison. | |

The logo for Dragon Quest VIII had a crown in the background, given that the subtitle for that game is "Journey of the Cursed King". Also in that game, a King Slime is stuck in a well, and you can free it by removing the crown, allowing it to turn into regular slimes. You also get to keep the crown as armor. Way back in Dragon Quest III, one of the kingdoms has its crown stolen by a thief. Upon retrieving it, the king actually offers to let your hero rule in his stead, leading to a temporary Non-Standard Game Over if you accept. (You can reverse it by just tracking the king down (he's hanging out in the casino) and having him take the kingdom back.) |

TaleSpin: "Waiders of the Wost Tweasure": Played with. A queen had lost a royal heirloom, but everyone in the kingdom had Elmuh Fudd Syndwome, so she called the heirloom "the wuby wings". Baloo and his friend naturally thought she was saying "ruby rings". As it turned out, she was actually looking for wings made of ruby. | |

In The Belgariad: The premier symbol of the King of Riva is the sword of Riva Iron-grip, mounted above the throne. The entire country is built as a defense for the Cosmic Keystone set in its pommel — which also handily defends itself against false claimants. In Polgara The Sorceress, Prince Daran normally uses a chair set before the royal throne while serving as regent. When he needs to make a point, he dispenses with the chair and sits on the throne, with the Sword and Orb glowing above him. |

When Arnie asks how you tell which animals are kings, Usidore matter-of-factly says they wear crowns. Chunt, who at that point is king of the badgers, immediately claims that the crown he's wearing is just part of a costume. | |

In the Dragaera series, the ruler of the Dragaeran Empire is orbited and protected by the Imperial Orb, the single most potent magical item in that world. Every citizen has a psychic link to the Orb, which filters the raw power of Chaos into Dragaeran sorcery.note Vlad, the viewpoint character, ends up with pieces of 'gold Phoenix stone' and 'black Phoenix stone', to render himself invisible to sorcery and psychic abilities (long story). In Iorich, he ends up within the same City as the Orb, and can still feel the connection, despite wearing both stones When it was temporarily lost due to Adron's Disaster, sorcery failed and there was no Empire for a couple of centuries. As a bonus, it's also a perfectly accurate timepiece. | |

Tenchi Muyo! has Ayeka wearing a tiara. However, you can barely tell what the hell it looks like because 99% of the time, it's covered up by her bangs. Oddly, none of the other royal females - Sasami, Funaho, Misaki, Seto, etc. - are shown wearing one. It does have a function, though, as it's the key to her spaceship, Ryu-Oh, and allows her to perform various offensive and defensive attacks. | |

In every appearance in the series, Emperor Uriel Septim VII wears ermine-lined robes. In Oblivion, where he is assassinated minutes into the game, you cannot loot the robes from his body as they are marked with an "Unplayable" flag. By using console commands or Game Mods, it is possible to obtain the robes. | |

In Discworld: The throne of Ankh-Morpork is unused by the ruling Patricians after the last King's beheading. The current Patrician finds it perfectly symbolic that the throne is completely rotten wood beneath a layer of gold leaf. Also the Scone of Stone, a parody of the Stone of Scone, which the Low King of the Dwarfs must sit on during the coronation. In deference to its symbolic value, it's politely ignored that the Scone has crumbled and been re-baked any number of times. The Royal Sword is generally recognised as the symbol of the Ankh-Morpork monarchy. No-one's exactly sure what it looks like any more, though, but it's generally assumed it must be shiny and impressive-looking. So obviously it's not the perfectly ordinary looking but really sharp sword wielded by Captain Carrot of the Watch. According to The Companion, during the period of messiness towards the end of the monarchy, there were any number of True Royal Swords showing up in the hands of various nobles. In the case of King Blad, Scourge of Dolly Sisters, this was two peices of wood nailed together. The Crown of Lancre plays a significant part in Wyrd Sisters, even though it looks really tatty next to the fake crowns used by the strolling players. |

In The Elenium, the knights have to find the long-lost royal crown of Thalesia, which was thrown into a lake when its last bearer died to keep it out of enemy hands. The significance of the crown isn't the headpiece itself, but the elaborate sapphire carved in the shape of a rose. This is Bhelliom, and it's an incredibly powerful magic artifact. | |

100 Sleeping Princes and the Kingdom of Dreams is a bishonen-collecting mobage that's essentially based on a fetish for this trope. Many of the 4- and 5-star princes' awakened forms take this further. However, there are also cards that go for different styles, such a punk, or sporty, or surfer looks, but even those tend to have way more decoration and fanciness than you'd see in real life. | |

Prétear has tiaras in at least some of her outfits, as well. She is referred to as a "princess" at least once in both the anime and the manga (by different characters) — this makes sense, considering the series is loosely based on Snow-White; besides, it is a pun on her name, Himeno. She also gains an even more crown-like tiara when she achieves the form of the Legendary White Pretear. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has quite a few of these as magic items. The Circlet of Blasting, which fires a maximised Searing Light once per day. The Helm of Brilliance, a crown-like helmet encrusted with magnificent gems, which provides a suite of powerful fire- and light-based powers. D&D's spiritual successor Pathfinder attributes the first Helms to the Incorruptible Pharaoh of ancient Osirion, who granted them as signs of favour to the greatest members of his court — including a kill switch in case they tried to betray him. In a 2nd edition book about magic items, there is the "Cloak of Lordliness", which for humans, is an ermine cape. It gives modifiers to persuasion rolls. The queens of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts sit on throne guardians, dragon-shaped constructs loaded with magical power. It's not just impressive, it will kick your butt. Its abilities include Mind Reading and time stopping. The Regalia of Good and Evil are matched sets of crown, scepter, and orb, imbued with powerful enchantments and Set Bonuses. The former are crafted from mithral and crystal; the latter are grimy, fiery, chain-draped, spiky iron — in case people needed clarification on which person's the villain, perhaps. |

In The Lord of the Rings: The crown of Gondor is essentially a blinged-out war helm. The kings of the northern realm (and later the chieftains of the Rangers) make do with a tiara with a single large gem (the Elendilmir). By the end of the books, King Aragorn Elessar Telcontar ends up touting not just the crown, but the Ring of Barahir, the Sceptre of Annúminas, Andúril and the PalantÃr of Orthanc. Also the Elessar (the green "elf-stone" that gave Aragorn one of his names) and the great standard that proclaimed him to be King of both Gondor and the North. The rings given by Sauron to nine kings of men. Didn't turn out so well. Also, in the movies, GrÃma sees Aragorn's ring (the Ring of Barahir) and tells Saruman about it, allowing Saruman to deduce Aragorn is Isildur's heir. (In the books, Aragorn gave the ring to Arwen about forty years beforehand.) The ring was originally given to Aragorn's distant ancestor Barahir by the Elf king Finrod Felagund, after Barahir saved his life in battle. Barahir's son Beren takes the ring when him when he goes to find King Felagund and ask him to return the favor and help him get the Silmarils. the Sceptre of Annúminas, which is said to be the oldest manmade object in the world at that point. The backstory details that the sceptre, not the crown, is the primary regalia of royalty among Middle-Earth humans. There are a few objects still around that are even older, but they're elf-made, rather than manmade. The Ring of Barahir is perhaps the oldest of these. The throne of Gondor remains unoccupied. The Steward has a smaller chair under it. In The Hobbit, the Arkenstone is a fabulous jewel that the dwarves of Erebor adopted as their symbol of royalty. Unfortunately for them, it's also a symbol of Greed like none other. |

This is explicitly confirmed in the manga. Neo-Queen Serenity has a scepter that is clearly based on the Cutie Moon Rod. Which she turns back into the Cutie Moon Rod and gives to the newly awakened Sailor Chibimoon for use in the final battle. When Sailor Moon's Cutie Moon Rod is broken in the battle Neo-Queen Serenity magically obtains a new scepter with a different design. She later has Chibi-Usa give Usagi a new weapon, the Heart Moon Rod, which is clearly what the new scepter is based off of. For reference, see here. | |

The world of The Wheel of Time has quite a few royal lines and their respective regalia, with some notable examples: The Laurel Crown of Illian, which stands out as the only crown The Chosen One Rand wears from a nation he conquers. He renames it the Crown of Swords because of inward-pointing blades hidden among the golden laurel leaves, appreciating that it's the one crown that actually represents The Chains of Commanding. Lan's sword is his ancestral weapon as Prince of Malkier, which fell to the Shadow in his infancy. It was forged with the One Power in the Age of Legends — though, unlike most such artifacts, it's a plain sword for a common soldier. He also carries the signet ring of Malkieri royalty, which he gives to his wife Nynaeve, who uses it to rally the Borderlanders to his banner and force him to reclaim his royal heritage. The Lion Throne of Andor symbolizes one of the most enduring monarchies in the world and is the subject of legend, most notably that disaster befalls any man who would dare sit on it. Two of Queen Morgase's male consorts try to supplant her and get horribly killed in the attempt, so there's a grain of truth to that. King Laman Damodred decided to carve a throne out of the Tree of Life that a nation of Proud Warrior Race Guys gifted his country 500 years previously as a symbol of friendship. That brilliant idea jump-started the devastating Aiel War for the sole purpose of killing him. The most visible symbol of the Dragon Reborn is the crystal sword Callandor, which confirms Rand's identity to the world when he's able to draw it. It's also a terrifyingly powerful Amplifier Artifact of both the One Power and the power of the Dark One itself, which is key to re-sealing the Dark One in the Final Battle. The Crystal Throne of the Seanchan Empire receives near-religious reverence from the citizens, thanks in part to it being enchanted to force anyone around it to feel overwhelming awe. |

Merida's mother Elinor wears a modest crown throughout most of Brave, even after she's turned into a bear. It's therefore very notable when she leaves it behind, and the fact that she doesn't wear one for the remainder of the film is a hint of her Character Development. Merida herself, meanwhile, is very much less than pleased to be forced into royal regalia during the challenges to find her a husband. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Despite the crown seal, and robes, one of the most important items to the various Empires of Tamriel is the Amulet of Kings, a large red crystal worn on a gold chain. According to legend, it was created as the "Chim-el Adabal" by the Ayleids out of the crystallized blood of the "dead" creator god Lorkhan (also known by many other names), which was collected after falling from his heart as it flew across Tamriel, having been cut out by the Aedra (in vengeance for Lorkhan supposedly tricking them into sacrificing large parts of their divine power to create Mundus, the mortal plane), tied to an arrow, and fired across the continent. Following the Alessian Revolt, in which St. Alessia and her Nedic peoples (precursors to most of the modern races of Men) overthrew the (primarily) Daedra-worshiping Ayleids with the aid of the Nordic Empire, rebel Ayleid lords, and the Aedra themselves, Alessia made covenant with Akatosh, the draconic Top God of the Aedra. Akatosh imbued Alessia with his "dragon's blood" and placed her soul in the central stone of what is now known as the Amulet of Kings, symbolizing his pact with mankind. The Amulet of Kings can only be worn by those of royal blood, recognizing them as Alessia's (and Akatosh's) metaphysical heirs to the Ruby Throne of Cyrodiil and confirming those who can wear it as The Chosen One. In every appearance in the series, Emperor Uriel Septim VII wears ermine-lined robes. In Oblivion, where he is assassinated minutes into the game, you cannot loot the robes from his body as they are marked with an "Unplayable" flag. By using console commands or Game Mods, it is possible to obtain the robes. In Skyrim, you can flat out take the royal robes as a memento of your encounter with Emperor Titus during the Dark Brotherhood questline. |

The Iron Throne of Westeros, from A Song of Ice and Fire, forged in dragonfire from swords from the kingdoms conquered by Aegon and his sisters. Aegon said that "a king should never sit easy," so the sword points are still there in a number of places, and sharp. Crowns may be dime a dozen in this universe (even the pathetic upstart Theon Greyjoy had one made for himself), but the throne is unique, special, and represents authority over all Westeros. | |

Indeed, one of the few occasions where a scepter has a central role in a story is the Tintin tale King Ottokar's Scepter, where the King of Syldavia will be forced to abdicate if he can't find the titular object. It's all a front for an attempted Anschluss. | |

Shows up and averted in The Crown: Appropriately, Invoked in Season 1, Episode 5 of "Smoke and Mirrors", which dramatises the coronation of Elizabeth II in June 1953. Several items of the British Crown Jewels make appearances; St Edward's Crown in particular appears in Elizabeth's ceremony (of course) but also her rehearsals and (poignantly) her flashbacks to her father's rehearsals in 1937. As the Duke of Windsor (the never-crowned former King Edward VIII) comments to his houseguests (watching it with him on TV from Paris), the regalia and their use in an elaborate ceremony are a key part of how the monarchy works: Most episodes, the Queen doesn't wear any regalia, but for formal occasions she's usually seen wearing her blue sash with the decorations of the various orders she heads as Sovereign. These are usually enough to make her stand out. Invoked in the opening titles, as well, which are a stylised depiction of the transformation of a lump of gold into the Imperial State Crown. |

In The Rose of Versailles, Marie-Antoinette, and the two Louis, wear ermine capes to show off their authority. But when forced to speak to Madame DuBarry, Marie is so upset she flings her ermine cape away from her, as if to show that she was unworthy at that moment. Maria Theresa is the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, but you wouldn't notice for her diadem and purple sash. She is of the opinion the only regalia a proper ruler need are a crown and their own dignity. |

In Warhammer: King Thorgrim Grudgebearer has an extremely special crown worn by every dwarf High King, which is crafted with runes that collect and impart the knowledge of every High King to come before. He is also carried into battle on a throne that seems to be made of gold, magic, and awesomeness. Ogre Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth has a unique crown hammered into his skull, boosting his intelligence beyond that of your average ogre; a scepter bigger than a man; and a throne carried by dozens of Gnoblars. The phoenix crown was such a symbol until the dwarfs stole it from the elves. The king of Brettonia has one as well but it's not quite as fancy as the others. |

In the Season 4 premiere, Discord, in an attempt to mock Twilight for staying behind because she's a princess, summons an ermine cape and a scepter for her. |

In Mistborn: The Original Trilogy: Notably averted by the Lord Ruler. As the immortal dictator who founded the Final Empire and ruled as a god for a millennium, the one symbol of Imperial authority is him. Following the Lord Ruler's death, one regional ruler adopts a simple circlet set with a bead of atium — a Fantastic Metal of tremendous value for the limited precognitive powers it grants, previously controlled by the Lord Ruler alone. |

In Merlin the King and Queen of Camelot each have a crown; the King's crown is a simple circlet with engravings, whilst the Queen's crown is much more elaborate, with plenty of jewels. Uther has two crowns, the gold circlet and a more typical crown. Arthur's new one is rather typical but not the same as Uther's. Lady Morgana and Princess Mithian wear ermine capes. |

The Sailor Senshi wear diadems (referred to as tiaras), given that they are all princesses, and Sailor Moon used hers as a weapon. Sailor Jupiter's also had a lighting rod built into it. In the original manga it is always present while reprints and The '90s anime have it extend when she uses it. Non Sol Senshi have some form of Tiara or headgear as well. Lead Crow's Feather tied to her forehead, Tin Nayanako's goofy headgear with gold accents, the X shaped straps across Sirien's face, Galaxia's Headdress, Kakyuu's crown (if it can be called that) being the least Tiara like. The title character's weapon from the second season, the Cutie Moon Rod, is essentially a queen's scepter.(The DiC dub name is "Moon Scepter") Her weapon from the last season, the Eternal Tier, is a rod with the top resembling a crown. This is explicitly confirmed in the manga. Neo-Queen Serenity has a scepter that is clearly based on the Cutie Moon Rod. Which she turns back into the Cutie Moon Rod and gives to the newly awakened Sailor Chibimoon for use in the final battle. When Sailor Moon's Cutie Moon Rod is broken in the battle Neo-Queen Serenity magically obtains a new scepter with a different design. She later has Chibi-Usa give Usagi a new weapon, the Heart Moon Rod, which is clearly what the new scepter is based off of. For reference, see here. |

Seen frequently in the Dark Parables. Unusually for the trope, however, the regalia is rarely shown being actually worn by one of the many Royal Blood-ed characters roaming these games. More often, the scepters, tiaras, and so forth are Plot Coupons which must be found and/or assembled by the detective, then used as keys or puzzle solutions to progress the story. | |

Even though Lwaxana Troi from Star Trek: The Next Generation wasn't explicitly royalty, she might have been, with all her bragging about heirlooms, including "Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed". At least in the Expanded Universe, she's made out more explicitly to be nobility... Though going by some of her daughter's comments it seems this doesn't actually mean a whole lot on contemporary Betazed, and those Holy Rings are probably a lot less impressive than they sound; the Sacred Chalice of Somewhere-Or-Other, of which she's also Guardian, is an old pewter pot she keeps in the back of her closet. |
