In Europe they could too. In the baroque and rockoko time.
oh really i didn’t know that thanks for the info now i got curious (⌒▽⌒)
Not exactly harem, but concubines and favorites could rise and have more influence than the queen. You can look up madame de pompadour for example. Super influencial and besties with the queen. And the afternoon tea in England in the old days was also something... Fun for women, when they could not be as open about it as men.
unlike European culture someone from the harem can actually rose up high in the status it is not like it never happened (〜￣△￣)〜
