Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, never became king because he was not in the line of succession and was not of royal birth in the same sense as the heirs to the British throne. He was married to Queen Elizabeth II, which made him a prince consort rather than a reigning monarch. The title of king is typically reserved for those who inherit the throne, and since Philip was not a direct descendant of a reigning monarch, he could not ascend to that position. His role was to support the queen in her duties and represent the royal family.

No ! Camilla wasn't born into a Royal family - and therefore can NEVER have the title 'Queen' It's the same situation with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's husband, Philip. He wasn't part of a Royal Family, and thus has the title Prince. Camilla will have the title Princess Camilla when Charles accedes to the throne.

What king will Prince Harry be?

It's unlike Prince Harry will ever be king, his Older Brother would have to die before Harry and childless for Harry to be in line to become King. However should Prince Harry become King he'd be King Henry IX (though the Monarch can choice what ever name he or she wishes and to date no name in the British monarchy has been used more than 8 times, so Harry might in this case choice a different name)
