Meanwhile, queens who become queens by marrying kings and/or getting their sons on the throne are very likely to fall under this trope. Her sexist adversaries may view her like this, but the narration will usually be on her side, in the style of You Go, Girl!. Queens who became queen because their late father the king had no sons (or had evil, ambitious sons) are usually exempt from this trope, by virtue of being the "rightful heir". There is a notable difference in how queens are portrayed depending on how they came to be queen.
However, it is not uncommon for a work to contrast a lovely heroic princess with one of these - see Good Princess, Evil Queen. Good queens don't need to be listed: they are simply The High Queen. Averted pretty much every time the lovely princess becomes queen mid or end-story, or when the queen was a princess in a prequel to the story, and when the princess rules the kingdom much like a queen would, and is only princess in title.
