Queen mary
If the mother of the British sovereign had been the queen consort, then the customary title for her would usually be "Her Majesty the Queen Mother," although she might also be known by the the name and title she used during the lifetime of her late husband the king, such as, "Her Majesty Queen Mary." If the mother of the sovereign had not been a queen consort, then she would not become a "Queen Mother", but would continue with the title she had before the accession of the new sovereign. So, for example, Queen Victoria's mother, who had never been a Queen, continued to be known as "the duchess of Kent."
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." King George's and Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, was born into the Royal Family and did inherit the title of Queen Regnant.
No. "Queen mother" is the title given to a widowed queen consort (queen consort = wife of reigning king) whose child by that marriage has become monarch. While her husband lived she held the title queen (consort); now she holds the title queen mother. A prince consort (husband of a reigning queen) has never held the title "king". If widowed he therefore remains a prince, whether or not any of the children of his marriage to the deceased queen becomes monarch.
A Dowager Queen is a title used to refer to a queen who is widowed, typically the widow of a king. She often retains the title of queen but does not hold any ruling power, as her husband has passed away. In some contexts, the term can also refer to a queen mother who has outlived her husband and may play a ceremonial or advisory role in the monarchy.
Not necessarily. A Queen's husband can be the king, if the king is the monarch. If the Queen is the monarch, then her husband could be a prince, but would not be the king. He could also have the title of Duke along with being a prince. For example, in England, the Queen's husband is Prince Phillip, and he also has the title of Duke of Edinburgh.
Duke of Edinburgh

The Queen Consort may hold the title of Dowager Queen. In some states, if the Queen Consort's child becomes the monarch, the Queen may take a title such as 'Queen Mother'.
Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, known as the Queen Mother, was not a reigning queen but held the title of queen consort when her husband, King George VI, was on the throne. After his death in 1952, their daughter, Elizabeth II, became queen, making Elizabeth Bowes Lyon the mother of the reigning monarch. She was affectionately referred to as the Queen Mother to distinguish her from her daughter, the reigning queen, and to honor her significant role in British royal history.
The name of Queen Victoria's husband was Albert, his title being Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Yes. Queen Victoria was already cousin with her husband.
