European aristocracy doesn’t have a lot of taboos left around marrying from the lower classes.

Maybe the most prominent example is Victoria, the Crown Princess of Sweden. She married her personal trainer, a gym entrepreneur and son of an ordinary civil servant, who received the titles of Prince and Duke.
