 * Featured in the HOI4 mod Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg.
 * Henry VI
 * Jean III's son and successor in the same mod.
 * Minnie Mouse portrays the role of a princess (apparently the daughter of King Louis XIII and Queen Anne, which would make her a female equivalent of Louis XIV) who rules the Kingdom of France but is a victim of being overthrown by the villainous Pete (see princess and dragon). In real-life such an ascension would be contrary to Salic Law.
 * In the episode "The Golden Age of Ballooning", a Scottish conman (played by Michael Palin) poses as the French monarch, claiming to be Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI and Louis XVII.
 * Napoleon VI is mentioned as the Emperor of France-outre-mer in an alternate 2025 where, in 1878, a meteor shower known as 'The Fall' rendered the Northern Hemisphere uninhabitable, forcing European metropolitan governments to evacuate to their colonies. France-outre-mer encompasses French North Africa and reclaimed French, Spanish and Portuguese coastal territories, with its capital based in Algiers. King-Emperor John II arranges the marriage of his daughter Sita to the heir to the throne of France-outre-mer, partly to establish an Anglo-French condominium over the Sultanate of Egypt and re-open the Suez Canal. Although the regnal name was claimed by Louis, Prince Napoléon, if he is based on a real person, the date would indicate this is either Charles, Prince Napoléon or Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon.
 * Pippin Arnulf Héristal, a descendant of Charlemagne, is crowned as Pippin IV to provoke a rebellion.
 * Charles XI
 * After France's defeat during the First Great War, he becomes King of France between the late 1920s and 1930 after Action Française takes control of the country, ending the French Third Republic, and restores the monarchy. He serves as the King of France for fourteen years and leads his country into another war with the German Empire after the new Kaiser Wilhelm III refuses to return Alsace-Lorraine to France. He is later killed in 1944 when Germany destroys most of Paris with an atomic bomb.

 * Louis XIX
 * Following Charles XI's death, he is succeeded by Louis XIX. While he initially announced France's intention to continue to fight Germany, he ultimately accepts capitulation. There is no equivalent son of Alfonso Carlos, who died childless.

 * Umberto III – In the alternate 2010 depicted in In the Presence of Mine Enemies, Italy (like Spain and Portugal) is an ally of the Greater German Reich and possesses its own empire but is compelled to carry out racial policies such as the extermination of Arabs in its territories. The Italian King is a figurehead but does hold influence in domestic politics. Possibly a version of Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, Prince of Venice, where the naming of his father and grandfather after their grandfathers continued and established something similar to Denmark's swapping between Fredericks and Christians.
 * Cosimo III – In the alternate timeline depicted in Through Darkest Europe, due to the adoption by Thomas Aquinas and Al-Ghazali of opposite positions regarding the compatibility of reason and religion than in real-life, Islamic North Africa and the Middle East are the "liberal, tolerant, and above all rich" First World whilst Christian Europe is an impoverished hotspot of Christian fundamentalist terrorism.

It might be Puyi or his brother Pujie.
 * In Joe Steele, Japan surrenders to the Americans in the South and the Soviets in the North. The U.S. establishes the Constitutional Monarchy of Japan. However, with Emperor Hirohito being killed during an air raid towards the end of the war, Hirohito's 12-year-old son Akihito becomes the new emperor, although he is only a figure head, as it is General Dwight D.

Having become King at such a young age, Maxi constantly flouts his title and power for trivial reasons which his pilot, Captain Martin Crieff, says would not make him popular in the long-term (based on his own experiences). After Princess Theresa covers for Crieff for accidentally ordering too much fuel, the two begin dating.

Lithuania
Gunpowder Empire by Harry Turtledove Hearts of Iron IV
 * King Kuzmickas
 * In this alternate history, the Roman Empire never fell and remained strong and powerful to the end the 21st century and beyond, eventually gaining firearms and developing a technology roughly similar to our 17th century. Eventually, the rival Lietuvan Empire developed to its north and east (roughly similar to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth). The two evenly matched empires were in permanent cold war, sometimes turning hot.

So he left his island and abdicated the throne in favor of his nephew, who became King Julien XIII of Madagascar. However, the original King Julien became devious as he returned to the island and tried to reclaim the throne from his nephew. In the end, he decided to give up his evil plans and start a new and better life.
 * King Julien XIII
 * He is the Indian-accented ring-tailed lemur who has been a ruler of the Lemur Kingdom in Madagascar after his uncle's abdication, using mostly his delegation and charisma, and loves to throw a party with his subjects. In All Hail King Julien, Julien has been against not only his uncle but also his parents Princess Julienne and Prince Barty. He has his own royal advisor Maurice the aye-aye and befriends Mort the mouse lemur and four zoo animals, Alex the Lion, Marty The Zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria The Hippo, from New York City.

He would serve as the Emperor of Mexico until at least 1880 and his dynasty he founded there would remain in power through the Second Great War, relying on France and the Confederacy for protection from the wrath of the United States. Maximilian's installation was a violation of the Monroe Doctrine. The French and Confederates prevented the U.S. from enforcing the doctrine, thus effectively shooting it between the eyes.
 * Maximilian II
 * He had served as the Emperor of Mexico since at least 1880. He maintained the close ties between his country and France. In 1881, with his nation desperate for money, Maximilian decided to sell the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora to the Confederate States, which would cause the Second Mexican War with the United States.

 * He served as the Emperor of Mexico after Francisco Jose I. During his reign as emperor during the late 1910s and early 1920s, anti-Habsburg revolutionaries sought to remove him from the throne and sparked the Mexican Civil War in 1917. He served as the emperor until at least 1942 and saw the beginning of the Second Great War and Mexico join the Entente Powers once again.
 * Francisco José II
 * He served as the Emperor of Mexico after Maximilian III and was the emperor during the Second Great War. He reluctantly supplied troops to the Confederacy, who were used to both help attack the United States and later defend the Confederacy from US counter-attacks.
 * After U.S. General Irving Morrell's major breakthrough at Pittsburgh came at the expense of poorly-equipped Mexican troops, Francisco Jose II refused to allow his men to participate in any more major battles against the United States. This would result in Mexico losing the Baja California peninsula to the United States. Confederate President Jake Featherston, after unsuccessfully attempting to change the Emperor's mind, finally acquiesced. Mexican troops were instead used to battle the black guerrilla fighters in the southern part of the Confederacy. Francisco José II was one of the few leaders of a Great Powers nation not forced to resign or abdicate after the alliance's defeat in the Second Great War.
 * Among the many alternate timelines visited by the protagonists, there is one in which late 20th century Mexico is a monarchy, ruled by a king.

After his son Alexei falls and strikes his head on a desk, the aliens and the Tsar discuss the czarevitch's haemophilia and after a finding out that his son lacks the protein in his blood and that he has the protein, agrees to a blood transfusion with the help of Dark's machine. His son is cured within three days and results in nationwide rejoicing at this news and Grigori Rasputin is thrown out the Palace by Imperial soldiers. Czar Nicholas is so boundlessly thankful for the aliens deed and arranges safe passage to Spain for the Explorers, who are still being pursued by American Marines. In addition, the Czar promises to seriously consider everything that Ari has told him about the possibility of a World War. However, with either World War I or the Russian Revolution occurring, Nicholas remained on the Russian throne until between 1918 and 1933.
 * Alexei II
 * With his haemophilia cured in 1909, Alexei grows up a healthy person. He succeed the Russian throne by 1933. During their 1933 tour of Earth, which the four alien explorers undertake just prior to their departure from Earth, they are received by Alexei, who is now the Czar of Russia. During the encounter, Raf describes him as a "strapping young lad."

 * Nicholas II
 * In 1914, when Austria-Hungary issued a number of ultimata to Serbia following the assassination of Franz Ferdinand by a Serb in Sarajevo, Nicholas II promised to support the Serbs should they refuse the ultimata. They did, and Russia declared war on Austria-Hungary, which had declared war on Serbia. The Great War followed. In 1917, Nicholas found himself facing a Red Revolution, followed by a protracted civil war, which resulted in Russia backing out of the Great War. Ultimately, Nicholas and his supporters triumphed, and Nicholas remained emperor for the remainder of the 1920s and died in the early 1930s. The destruction resulting from the wars left Russia in such a poor state that in 1929 she was forced to suspend payment of a loan to Austria-Hungary. This caused a chain effect that led in turn to the worldwide stock market crash of that year. Following his death, Nicholas was succeeded as Tsar by his younger brother, Michael II.

 * Abdulmejid II
 * In the HOI4 mod, Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg, he is the 37th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, succeeding Sultan Mehmed VI Vahideddin in 1926. Abdülmejid is known as being relatively uninterested in politics and more fascinated with the fine art. Because of that, he mostly acts as a purely constitutional monarch.
 * The Nazi expedition searching for the Holy Grail is shown to have been equipped by an unnamed Sultan of Hatay, in exchange for a Rolls-Royce Phantom II. The fictionalized Hatay monarchy is stated as being a "Republic" in the film.
 * Osman VII – The Ottoman Empire (known as the Ottoman Republic in the film) remains intact into the 21st century as a result of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk falling into a coma when he was seven years old and the Turkish War of Independence never happening as a result. Osman VII is little more than a figurehead and a source of ridicule by foreign dignitaries.
 * Al-Hussein is the ruler of the Caliphate of Damascus and the Caliph of Islam in the post-Fall world. The Caliphate is an Arab empire encompassing the former Ottoman Empire, the Balkans and Persia, born out of Arab revolts against the Ottoman Empire in the immediate aftermath of the Fall. It is the main rival of France-outre-mer and is the chief obstacle to the formation of an Anglo-French condominium over the Sultanate of Egypt.
 * In an alternate timeline, Imperial Germany became the dominant world power by 2096, following its victories in the 20th century's three world wars.

The Ottoman Sultan is among the many monarchs annually attending the Kaiser in Berlin, in a glittering ceremony broadcast live worldwide.

However, Henry Tudor erased Richard IV's reign, the Yorkist victory during the Wars of the Roses and Richard III's true nature from history after his belated succession to the throne. The regnal number for Scotland would be I in real-life, and this is also the Jacobite name for Rupprecht of Bavaria.

He is secretly married bigamously to Isabella, the Queen Consort and her secretary, Anona Fellowes, the latter being Princess Louise's birth mother.

 * Henry IX of the United Kingdom is the reigning monarch in In the Presence of Mine Enemies, an alternate history wherein the Axis won World War II. While the king has very little direct power (the Nazis having annexed the UK), he is able to affect the politics of his country, namely voicing his support for greater democracy within the Greater German Reich, which is the policy position of the leadership of the governing British Union of Fascists including Prime Minister Charles Lynton.

The book mentions the Union of South Africa as an independent ally of the Reich which continues to practice Apartheid although it is unclear whether Henry IX is also the King of South Africa.
 * Charles III of the United Kingdom in The Two Georges, coauthored with Richard Dreyfus. While the character is described as being quite physically similar to the then-real-life Prince of Wales, the fictional Charles III is actually descended from Edward VIII.

After nearly twenty-five years on the throne, he experiences a midlife crisis (owing to his lack of agency both in becoming and being King, his unhappy marriage and a monotonous series of trivial public engagements) and intends to abdicate during his Silver Jubilee. Queen Katarina (played by Sally Phillips) stymies his plan by clandestinely leaking it to the press, wishing to remain Queen.

Published in the early 1920s, The Moon Maid and The Moon Men envisioned a twentieth century in which "The Great War" would have gone on uninterrupted, though with varying intensity, from 1914 and until 1967 – ending with the total victory of the Anglo-Saxon Powers, Britain and the US, and the complete defeat and surrender of all other powers. Britain and the US thereupon become co-rulers of the planet, London and Washington being the twin planetary capitals and the US President and British Monarch acting as co-rulers, and with the British-American domination of the world imposed by the International Peace Fleet, made up of airships. In the first decades of the 21st century, the world basks in peace, there seems no enemy and no threat anywhere, and pressure grows for complete disarmament and scrapping of the International Peace Fleet. It is the (unnamed) King of Britain who strongly resists this pressure, and due to him half of the Fleet and of the world's armament industries are retained. This is not enough to resist the invasion fleet of the wild Kalkars from the Moon, led by the renegade Earthman Orthis, which suddenly descends on the world in 2050, capturing London and Washington and ranging the world at will. But by the British King's foresight there was still a remnant of the Fleet in existence, which kills the renegade Orthis – facilitating humanity's eventual liberation from Kalkar domination, though only centuries later.
