Is a Duke a Queen's husband?

Not necessarily. A Queen's husband can be the king, if the king is the monarch. If the Queen is the monarch, then her husband could be a prince, but would not be the king. He could also have the title of Duke along with being a prince. For example, in England, the Queen's husband is Prince Phillip, and he also has the title of Duke of Edinburgh.
