The Monarch is also the only power that can dissolve parliament (on the advice of ministers), triggering new parliamentary elections.

Would Kate be queen if Prince William dies?
Yes
____________
I seriously doubt the above, but I am not certain. A 'consort' by definition is the spouse (or partner) of a person, and marriage dissolves at death. So the title 'Consort' would hardly be applicable if King William predeceases her. If she has children at the time of the king's death, she might take the honorific 'Queen Mother', as did the mother of the present Queen, Elizabeth II. If there are no children, there will be a different king and queen, and Kate retaining the position of 'Queen Consort' would be very awkward.
