No, the husband of a Queen is not a King, he is the royal consort. For instance when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, he did not become King Albert.
If a Queen dies childless then the succession will pass to the next nearest of the Queen's bloodline relatives, not her widower.

∙ 9y agoNo, it does not work like that.
The husband of a queen is called a Prince Consort, not a king. The Prince Consort has absolutely no power over anything. Even the queen's highest ranking generals can ignore the Prince Consort, because the queen is in fact their commander-in-chief.
The whole "marry a queen and you become a king" thing is a Hollywood movie myth.
Queen Elizabeth II of England's husband for example is known as prince and duke, not king, despite being married to a queen.
If the rightful queen dies and you are married to her, you will keep the "prince consort" title, but you will still have no power at all, it is nothing more than an honorary title.
Once the rightful queen dies, the next in line will succeed to the throne, which is her child (or her closest blood relative if there is no child).

Why will Kate Middleton be called queen and Prince Philip not called king?
Phillip is Prince Phillip and not King Phillip because the throne of England was not rightfully his, he married in to the English Monarchy. In this instance had it been his by birth and he had married Elizabeth, Elizabeth would be Queen Consort. As it is, she is Queen Regnant and he cannot be considered Kings Consort as it is perceived a King holds more power than a Queen. So, Queen Elizabeth II is married to Prince Phillip (of Greece). He could have held the title of King had he been a King of some other monarchy by birth.
