'King' is the title reserved for a male sovereign, an actual ruler who gains the title through the line of succession.
While 'Queen' in the UK applies to both a female sovereign, and also a non-royal woman who is married to the king, the important distinction is that the first is a Queen Regnant, with all the powers of a king, while the latter is a Queen Consort, who does not.
Prince Phillip could be described as a King Consort, however traditionally the term Prince Consort is used.

The former Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon continued to enjoy the rank and style of Queen after the death of her husband, King George VI. The Queen Mother, however, was not born into the Royal Family; she married into it. Thus she could never inherit the title of Queen Regnant - one who reigns as queen. The Queen Mother's title was Queen Consort - the wife of a king: a "Mrs. King."
