The death of Queen of England is why her husband is not a king ? How he was a prince ?

If the king\"s wife is the queen, why the queen\"s husband is not the king!

A combination of surnames and titles can add 133 words to the name of British Prince Philip. Duke, Earl, Baron, Royal Knight, how many more! However, the most desired identity, but it is not. Although the British Queen is the husband of Elizabeth II, he is not a king.

If you know a little bit about the British royal family, you know, the king\"s wife is called the queen. The latest example is the mother of the current queen (she is also Elizabeth). When Elizabeth\"s husband, King George IV, ascended the British throne, she was called "Queen Elizabeth". That is, Elizabeth received the title of Queen in the marital formula. So why didn\"t Prince Philip become King Philip even after Elizabeth II became queen? At its core is masculinity.

An article in Reader\"s Digest said that although parliamentary law in the United Kingdom does not discriminate between men and women in determining succession to the state. However, there is still inequality in determining the surname. Usually, a woman gets the feminine form of her husband\"s surname. That is why when Prince Harry was declared Duke of Sussex, Megan Merkel became Duchess of Sussex. And while Prince William is king, Kate Middleton will be Queen Catherine.

Husbands, on the other hand, do not get the title to suit their wives. Especially in the royal family. Although there is a use of ‘queen’ in the figurative sense, the king is only in power. That is, although the king\"s wife is the queen, the husband of the ruling queen is not the king.

In the British royal family, the son was given precedence over the daughter. Some of the patriarchal system of government still remains. Maybe that\"s why the king always stays in front of the queen in one set of cards.
