ELI5: Why is the Queen of England's husband not the King of England?
gpt
There are two different kinds of queens: queen consort and queen regnant. A queen regnant is a ruling queen (like Elizabeth II) whereas a queen consort is just the wife of a king. Traditionally, king doesn't have the same break, there is ONLY a king regnant. In the UK, the husband of a queen doesn't get any official title, unless he is granted one (and, yes, he could theoretically get the title King if parliament so chose).
