    Well,

    . Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was the consort of King George VI of the United Kingdom, Emperor of India
    . Princess Astrid of Sweden (and Norway) was the consort of King Léopold III of the Belgians
    . Princess Juliana was the reigning Queen of the Netherlands (her consort was Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld)
    . Princess Charlotte was the reigning Grand Duchess of Luxembourg (her consort was Prince Félix of Bourbon-Parma)
    . Princess Ingrid of Sweden was the consort of King Frederik IX of Denmark

    So, we have a reigning Queen (Juliana) and a reigning Grand Duchess (Charlotte) who were Heiresses Presumptive, two Queens Consorts whose husbands were Heirs Apparents (Astrid and Ingrid) and a Queen Consort whose husband was Heir Presumptive (Elizabeth).

    : Correct.
    : "Future queens" would do the
    : trick. (See edit.)

    : And "Crown Princess" is not a
    : generic title.
    : There is quite a range of titles applying to
    : heirs to thrones.

    : Re-Edit: future queens is not right either!
    : Consorts to future reigning royals ? Yikes!
    : That's not right either. I give up!

    : Great banner - thanks.
    : Technically surely the Duchess of York was
    : married to an heir presumptive and not an
    : heir apparent? So she wasn't really a Crown
    : Princess as such, though all the ladies
    : shown did go on to become Queens.
