Maria Theresa is a bit unique I think. Being Queen of Bohemia and Archduchess of Austria in her on right she was sovereign over those states while at the same time she was an Empress Consort of the Holy Roman Empire which also included Austria and Bohemia thus making her a Sovereign in her own right and Consort at the same time.
