I'm not a 100% sure, but I believe you can. However, I think it would be very difficult to be elected if the spouse did not become an American citizen. The royal would also encounter many difficulties from their home country. Nothing is impossible and never say never, but lots of complications with this one.
best of luck to you!

If you live in the US and are a citizen,you don't use the title. And if you are a male,you do not automatically get a title,either.You can be senator or president as long as you are a citizen of the US,a natural-born citizen,without a serious criminal history. But if you change citizenship,to the royal spouse's country,you are no longer able to run for office or vote.

The United States Constitution specifies that the President must be native born, at least 35-years-old, and a resident of the US for at least 14 years. It doesn't specify the citizenship of his or her spouse.
Princess Grace of Monaco, incidentally, maintained dual American and Monegasque citizenship, so hypothetically, it would be possible to marry a foreign prince or princess and become President, or for that matter, a senator. Whether a prospective prince or princess forfeits his or her American citizenship upon marrying any particular royal would probably depend upon the royal family into which he or she married. Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, of course, faced bitter opposition as a twice-divorced American went she married Britain's Edward VIII, who abdicated his throne to marry her. Then again, the UK was probably more than happy to rid itself of a Nazi sympathizer.

Yes. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution stating that one's spouse must be a citizen in order for someone to take office. If one were elected President, there might be some security issues if the spouse had not become a U.S. citizen, but they couldn't be banned from taking office.

Yes, you can. However, in order to be President of the USA - you must be born in the United States.
As far as Senators go, I have no earthly idea. I briefly checked the US Constitution online .... but there was no mention RE: marriage to nobility

Yes, but you can't accept any royal or noble titles. You can be married to a princess but you can't be a prince.
