Best Answer

The queen's husband is usually known as her consort. His title varies, depending on what title he brought to the marriage or what title was subsequently bestowed upon him. The current consort was born a prince and has since been titled as the Duke of Edinburgh.

Technically he is King consort meaning he is married to a Monarch that holds all power within the constitution, so as if a woman married a King she would be Queen consort. Unless the Monarch were too by royal proclamation declares that she and her husband hold equal power, which would be unnecessary as under the Constitution the monarch has very little if any political power.

Why do princesses become queens by marriage but princes don't become kings by marriage?

To the best of my knowledge, a King out ranks a Queen...so a Princess who becomes Queen cannot be out ranked by her husband, since a person inherits the throne...so he's known as Prince and as the Queen's Consort.

Who is the living king of Britain now?

I hate to break it to you, but there isn't one...... the current Queen is Elizabeth II, her husband is Prince Philip. Since he is her husband by marriage and not a direct descendant to the throne, he can't be 'King'. When they first got married, his title was 'His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh'. In 1957 the Queen granted her husband the title of Prince, his title is now 'His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh'. Next in line to the throne is the Queen and Prince Philip's oldest son, Prince Charles. When the Queen dies, he will be 'King Charles'.
