I'll chime in with the others here, why do they need a stat block? And why why should they be powerful combatants? And, stat them as NPC with special abilities.
Why should they have lots of hit points? They are not adventurers.
Why are they "better" than a noble? Because they wield political power? Because they were born into their role?
Do you imagine Queen Elizabeth to be 20th level? Do you imagine her to have more hit points and a better attack bonus than the queen's guard at the gate to the palace? But, she probably has a few special traits like 'royal decree' and 'unflappable decorum'.
I mean unless your king/queen is Conan or a warrior/wizard that took the throne by force or built the kingdom from the ground up...
