The British Monarchy

That's because he wasn't King, he was Prince Consort making the husband of the Queen a King would imply he had some power. The Queen was the monarch with all the power, damn sexual discrimination.

Exactly the same as family.
She's not the queen so why do people call her Queen

Went to visit a 100 year old just before Christmas. Marvellous ( has a glass of red every day) lady. “I got my telegram from the King and … well she’s not really the Queen!” That sums it up for me too.

Rightly or wrongly if your wed to the King you’re the Queen

• Following the Queen's (Elizabeth II) wish, Camilla was crowned Queen at the coronation in May 2023, with the "Consort" dropped from official invitations, and she is now known as Queen Camilla.

She will still be legally the Queen Consort, but is referred to as the Queen as per the wishes of QE2.

Not that it matters! :-)

Thank God she's well past the breeding age.

I am officially the ‘Common law consort’ to Mrs KS.
She shortens my title to just ‘common.’

Whenever I read the term ‘common law wife’ I am reminded of this (truly remarkable) man.

Technically, a common law wife is someone who marries in the ancient common law way by giving notice to the world. Today, that still operates. You give notice to the registrar, he posts the notice in the entrance hall and he confirms it several weeks later when you appear in person before him. I married this way so Mrs KS is truly my common law wife.

Because she's married to the king. In the same way Diana would have been queen if she had remained married to Charlie until he was crowned.

Liz is turning in her marble mausoleum and never countenanced the (if) Parker-Bowles (England will win) floosy wearing the Crown Jewels. Brian was well aware but before his dear departed mother had left Scotland he was fixing. Absolute ****. But is anyone surprised?
