Will there ever be both a king and queen of England?
Technically, the answer to this question is no, because the title king (or queen) of England no longer exists. The current monarch, Elizabeth II, is queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Under the heredity system, when monarch dies the eldest son (or if deceased, his eldest surviving son) becomes king and his wife is given the title of queen. If there are no surviving males the eldest daughter is crowned queen and her husband is given the title of prince. The present heir to the throne, Prince Charles, will become king when his mother dies, but it is unlikely that his wife, Camilla, will be given the title of queen (this is a complex political matter because they were both divorced). However, assuming that the monarchy continues, there is no reason why in the future there could not be a king and queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
