I'm looking for a anime that has European-style royal main characters. Just royal drama in general.

The first thing that popped into my head was the classic shojo manga Rose Of Versailles/Versailles No Bara, which conveniently has a 2025 animated movie remake on Netflix

This story is from a manga from the 70s, there's the 1979-80 anime TV show, a 1987 animated movie.

I've never watched it myself, but it's one of the most famous bishojo stories out there, so there should be something good about it.

Another is Legend of Galactic Heroes, which features a space monarchy that resembles 19th century aristocracy, fighting space battles with Napoleonic era tactics. But a lot of the story is about the politics on both sides of the war. There is/was a recent TV remake: Die Neue These

Worth noting that the Legend of the Galactic Heroes remake has far worse music and character designs, so I recommend people go with the older one.
