When should king be capitalized?

Answer 1

If you are referring to a specific king - and the "king" in this case is his title - then, yes, it should be capitalized, e.g., "King Midas had a golden touch."

In other instances, the word "king" is lowercase:
- Midas, the king, had a golden touch.
- The king and queen were present at the ceremony.

Answer 2

When it's a title, capitalize it.

• King George III
• King of Morocco

When it isn't, though, don't capitalize it.

• The country of Morocco is ruled by a king.
• The king ordered the traitor be executed.

Answer 3

Yes, if you are referring to a particular king (whether named or not), but not otherwise.

'Queen Elizabeth's father was King George VI.'

'He takes precedence at the table - he is the King.'

'My uncle has been made a King's Counsel.'

'The lion is known as the king of beasts.'

'A male monarch is called a king, while a female is a queen.'

'She paid a king's ransom for her new car.'

Answer 4

It depends. If you are talking about a name of a king for example King Henry VIII, the word 'king' must be capitalised because it is a proper noun. However, if you use 'king' as a common noun for example 'I wish to be a king", you don't capitalise it.

Answer 5

It depends on the context. If one is referring to a specific queen such as Queen Elizabeth II, the word 'queen' should be capitalised. If one is just saying that "The country is looking forward to having a new queen", it does not require a capital.
