She's not in line for the throne, so will not be the same as the current Queen. If William becomes King, as his wife, Kate would become 'Queen consort', though she shares none of her husband's powers. This is different to a female monarch, a Queen regnant such as Elizabeth II, who is the one who was in line for the throne.

Why can Kate be Queen not the Princess That is what they keep saying now during the Royal Ceremony That she will become Queen?

They say that because when the Queen of England dies Kate will become the queen. =)


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)


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.


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.


What would kate's title have to have been for her to become queen not queen consort?

She would have had to have been born into the Royal family, all wives of reigning kings are queen consorts, husbands of reigning queens are princes's.


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.


Can kate middelton become queen?

She will! When William takes the throne she will become his consort, known as Queen Catherine. Hope this helps!:)


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.
