In the UK, a Queen can be both a female ruler, or the wife of a male ruler. On the other hand, King only describes a male ruler - the husband of a ruling female is known as a Prince Consort.
So, Catherine Middleton would become a Queen if William takes the throne. However she'll be a Queen Consort in this case, different to Elizabeth II, a Queen Regnant.

Who will be the king or queen of England in 2100?
It will most likely be the eldest son or daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Does Kate Middleton become queen?
Once the Queen (Elizabeth II) dies, Prince Charles will become King, after he dies, Prince William will become King, and Kate, as his wife will become the Queen Consort (not the Queen Regent, like Elizabeth is)
Does Kate Middleton become queen when William becomes king if so why is Prince Philip not king?
Prince Phillip is not King because it was his wife who was the rightful heir to the throne and not him. The last consort of the rightful heir to the throne of the United Kingdom to become King in his own right was William III who ruled jointly with his wife Mary II. It will be different when Prince William becomes King. As his wife Kate Middleton will be Queen Consort.
What happens to Kate if Harry becomes King?
Kate Middleton will become a princess when she marries Prince William. If William becomes king, Kate would then become queen. If Queen Elizabeth II abdicates the throne to Prince Harry however, Kate will remain a princess. This would seem unlikely considering William is in line to the throne before Harry.
Will Kate be known as queen?
Yes. When Prince William is crowned King, she will be crowned Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as 16 independent independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms. However, there is a notable difference. Kate would be a queen consort, which means she is only a queen because she is married to the King. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, is a queen regnant, which means she inherited the throne in her own right. As a queen consort, Kate Middleton would have the title Queen Catherine, but she would not hold any of her husband's powers.
Will Kate Middleton become princess?
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.
Why will Prince William and princes kate be the next king and queen?
No
Will kate become queen of England?
she will become queen when William becomes king, she will be queen consort- which means that yes she would be queen but when William dies or abdicates then their oldest son/child (or prince harry if no children) would become king/queen and kate would just be king/queens mother.
Will Kate become Queen when William becomes King and why?
Yes, she will become the Queen Consort, whilst William will be the King Regent. (because he was born into the royal family he will be the regent- she will be the Queen Consort as she is his wife)
Would William and kate be king and queen if Charles was to die?
Yes, but only if the actual queen would die too.
Would Kate be queen if Prince William dies?
Yes____________I seriously doubt the above, but I am not certain. A 'consort' by definition is the spouse (or partner) of a person, and marriage dissolves at death. So the title 'Consort' would hardly be applicable if King William predeceases her. If she has children at the time of the king's death, she might take the honorific 'Queen Mother', as did the mother of the present Queen, Elizabeth II. If there are no children, there will be a different king and queen, and Kate retaining the position of 'Queen Consort' would be very awkward.
