She will if William becomes King. He is currently second in line to the throne, after his father, Prince Charles. Kate will not be queen in the same sense as the current monarch, Elizabeth II. Elizabeth II is Queen Regnant, meaning that she is queen in her own right and the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, having inherited the crown from her father. Kate will be queen (queen consort) because she will be married to a reigning monarch. For example, if she becomes queen and she outlives William, she will NOT become the reigning monarch. The crown will go to William's eldest child with Kate, Prince George. She would then be queen in the same way that Elizabeth's mother was queen following the accession to the throne by Elizabeth II. Elizabeth's mother, also named Elizabeth, was known as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, or fondly as the Queen Mum. When she becomes queen, Kate will have a similar status to Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip.
