These royals were known for their whimsical, odd ways. Actually, one of the royals on the list is still with us, and in fact is next in line to the British throne. Eccentric royals have wealth and privilege galore, and those perks make it all too easy for them to indulge in unusual hobbies and habits.

Of course, there are scads of monarchs who could be featured in a top 10 list with this title. These 10 choices are interesting, but you might choose differently. One sure thing is that learning about the royals of past and present is fascinating, because crowned heads are a rarity.
