Why is there a King with a Queen but no King when there is a Queen?

Because Elizabeth was the elder daughter of George VI and Elizabeth (the former Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon). The first-born child of the reigning monarch is the heir apparent. Had Elizabeth been male rather than female, then the UK would have a king. It is usual for the eldest son to inherit the throne (even if there is an older daughter), but when there is no son then the eldest or only daughter inherits.
