The consorts, with the dates they claimed that role, were:
- Queen Mary (6 February 1685 – 16 September 1701) was still married to James II & VII upon his abdication, and was considered to be rightful queen consorts by Jacobite followers. Her son did not marry until after her death, so she retained the title of The Queen.
- Queen Clementina (3 September 1719 – 18 January 1735), wife of James III & VIII.
- Queen Louise (28 March 1772 – 31 January 1788), wife of Charles III
- Henry IX & I never married
Upon Henry's death, the succession passed to a different house, and none of the Jacobite heirs since has actually claimed the thrones of England and Scotland or incorporated the arms of England and Scotland in their coats-of-arms.
- Charles IV's wife died before Henry, and Charles never remarried
