It's sad... People amazed at why Apollo could/was interesting in Hecuba, Cassandra, Helenus, and Paris... Without remembering that there's more!
Proclia is one of Priam's sisters
Oenone is Paris's first bride, who received the ability to heal from Apollo
And if my memory serves me right, Troilus was a lover of Apollo in one version
So... If we're going to judge/laugh at the romantic/sexual life of a God, let's do it with all of its members. None of them deserve compassion to be forgotten :)
This is my attempt to see the upper bound of Apollo's involvements with the Trojan royal family!
Disclaimer that this looks past alternate genealogies (most notably, Hector) and mix-ups (Paris) for the widest pool of love interests :P
Proclia (sister of Priam)
Hecuba (wife of Priam)
Cassandra (daughter of Priam)
Helenus (son of Priam)
Paris (son of Priam)
If there's any missed, please let me know. Sources below:
Proclia
Cycnus, son of Poseidon, had two children from Proclia, daughter of Laomedon: Tennes and Hemithea […] Achilles, having made a campaign against Troy, killed Cycnus and Tennes, the son of Cycnus in word, but in deed Apollo's. […] He also killed Mnemon, whom Thetis had given to Achilles as a companion to remind him not to kill Apollo's son; for it was destined for Achilles to die, whenever he killed Apollo's son.
Tzetzes, Ad Lycophronem 232
After putting to sea from Aulis they touched at Tenedos. It was ruled by Tenes, son of Cycnus and Proclia, but according to some, he was a son of Apollo. […] So when the Greeks were standing in for Tenedos, Tenes saw them and tried to keep them off by throwing stones, but was killed by Achilles with a sword-cut in the breast, though Thetis had forewarned Achilles not to kill Tenes, because he himself would die by the hand of Apollo if he slew Tenes.
Apollodorus, Library Epitome 3.23, 26

Hecuba
Hecuba bore sons […] Troilus, this last she is said to have had by Apollo.
Apollodorus, Library 3.12.5
Porphyry in his Omissions says that Hector is Apollo's son in the versions of Ibycus, Alexander, Euphorion, and Stesichorus.
Venetus A Scholia on the Iliad, 3.314
As to Hecuba, Stesichorus says in the Sack of Troy that she was brought by Apollo to Lycia.
Pausanias, Descriptions of Greece 10.27.2
~~~~~
Cassandra
CASSANDRA: The seer Apollo appointed me to this office.
CHORUS: Can it be that he, a god, was smitten with desire?
CASSANDRA: Before now I was ashamed to speak of this.
CHORUS: In prosperity all take on airs.
CASSANDRA: Oh, but he struggled to win me, breathing ardent love for me.
CHORUS: Did you in due course come to the rite of marriage?
CASSANDRA: I consented to Loxias but broke my word.
Aeschylus, Agamemnon
Wishing to gain Cassandra's favours, Apollo promised to teach her the art of prophecy; she learned the art but refused his favours; hence Apollo deprived her prophecy of power to persuade.
Apollodorus, Library 3.12.5
~~~~~
Helenus
Helenus, son of Priam, was beloved of Apollo and received from him the ivory bow with which he wounded Achilles in the hand.
Photius, Library 190.45
~~~~~
Paris
It is said that Paris killed Achilles with his bow. Sostratos says that Apollo fell in love with Alexandros and taught him archery, and Alexandros having received from the god a bow made of ivory hit Achilles in the belly.
Eustathius, Ad Homerum
~~~~~
Honourable mention to Ileus, a son of Apollo named after his beloved Troy:
Ileus, whom lord Apollo, Zeus’ son, loved; and he named him this name, since he had found the nymph gracious and had mingled with her in loving desire on that day when Poseidon and Apollo made the lofty walls of the well-built city.
