How does the monarchy work in a way that keeps him as a prince?

Marrying the queen doesnt make you a king?

How about the other way around? If he was king would his wife just be a princess?

googled it:

Prince Philip does not have the title of 'King' simply because the law of succession in Britain is based on gender and not bloodline.
The parliamentary law means that when someone marries a King or Queen, they become known as a 'consort'.
However, the titles change depending on gender.
For women that marry a King, for example, they become known as the Queen consort.
However, when a man marries a Queen, they become a Prince consort.

Yup

Dragon Age origins taught me this

if you marry the bitch Queen you can claim to be king and she quickly reminds you just you're just a Prince Consort and she is the boss

I think she will be okay

Phillip is infamous for cheating on her and largely staying together for the optics

I think the whole Markle incident will have hit Liz harder than this since that turned a lot of public opinion from neutral to anti monarchy

It's not that weird. It's strictly about the power play.

As most monarchies roots are patriarchies (Kings, first born sons, etc), the title of King is actually higher than the title of Queen. So, if through whatever means the 'head' of the monarchy is currently a Queen, if she marries and made the husband a King, she has effectively demoted herself as the husband (now King) would take the throne.

So, you have Prince/Queen Consorts instead to kind of get around that.

Unless they have a son and he would be king

I always assumed that he was destined to get that telegram from The Queen that you get when you reach 100 years old.

Anyway RIP Prince Phillip.

Same thing in Denmark

Ive heard of that as well, but there are exceptions.

My great grandfather still lived on for a few years after his wife died. And if his daughter (my mothers mother) hadnt died of ALS, as well as his son having died prior to that (him i dont know much about) he could have been alive today.

And on a similar note to this topic. The Prince Consort of Denmark died 3 years ago, and the queen is still alive and going strong to my knowledge.
