Because he wouldn't be a king.

A male who inherits the throne in England, is the King. His wife may be called Queen, but she is a Queen consort - she does not share the king's military or political power.

A female who inherits the throne is also a Queen, but she is a Queen regnant, and has all the powers of a king as described above. While her husband could be called a 'King consort', he does not have the powers of a reigning monarch, and so the term Prince or Prince Consort is used instead.
