ELI5: Why is Phillip considered a prince, even if he's married to the Queen?
gpt
The wife of the King is a Queen (Queen Consort).

The husband of the Queen is a Prince (Prince Consort).

Phillip is not King. He is husband to Elizabeth, who is Queen (Queen Regnant).

The difference between Queen Regnant and Queen Consort is that Queen Regnant is Queen by her own right, while Queen Consort is Queen through marriage.
