RaoulDuke79 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Probably a dumb question, but if Elizabeth is the Queen and Phillip was her husband, why was he a prince and not a King? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The reason comes from a quirk of British parliamentary law that decrees that a man married to a reigning queen is referred to as a “prince consort” rather than king. In British royalty, the only way to become king is to inherit the title." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 He was a WWII war hero, and would have continued his military career had he not married Elizabeth. Another loss from a great generation! RIP Prince Philip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
