Several actresses have married royalty, but the question specifically asks about a "king." Here's the answer based on the provided reference:
Two famous actresses who married into royal families include:
- Grace Kelly, an American actress, married Prince Rainier III of Monaco. While he wasn't a king, he was the sovereign prince of Monaco.
- Wallis Simpson, an American socialite, married the former King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, who was later known as the Duke of Windsor after his abdication. He was a king before he married her.
Therefore, the actress who married a king (and not a prince) was Wallis Simpson.
Details about the Marriages
Here's a bit more detail to provide better context:
| Actress | Royal Partner | Royal Title | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grace Kelly | Prince Rainier III of Monaco | Sovereign Prince of Monaco | Her marriage made her Princess of Monaco. |
| Wallis Simpson | King Edward VIII (later Duke of Windsor) | King of the United Kingdom (later Duke) | Their marriage caused a constitutional crisis because Edward VIII had to abdicate the throne. |
In summary, while several actresses have married into royalty, only Wallis Simpson married a King, specifically, King Edward VIII.
