Default why isnt the queen married to a king

why is it that Queen Elizabeth is married to a Prince ,Prince Philip,shouldn't he be called King Philip or is this a way of saying who really wears the pants in the family.bit confusing
I thought when a Queen marrys her husband ithen becomes a King. a prince is usually the son.
An at 95 Prince Philip doesn't look like becoming one any time soon.
And what do they do exactly they don't rule over there countrymen like the old days so what power do they have...an further why do we still pledge allegence to the Queen ,she has even less sway here..we don't care what she says we do as we like now

A King is higher ranking than a Queen. If she made him King then she loses the "power"

The queen became the queen because she was 1st born and 1st in line to the throne. Her father was King George vi and his wife was known as the Queen, however when the Queen is on the throne, her husband is not known as the King, only a Prince.

Mate, I don't whether you have me confused with someone else but 2 things come to mind...
1st. Your reply is not relevant to the thread.
2nd. I have no idea what you are talking about!

He married into that family. Therefore he cant ascend to higher level than the queen because he is not blood.

Correct.

Kate is entitled to become a queen as William will be a king and will be higher up.

Harry would be a stick in the mud.

Would the royal family tolerate him? If something happened to William the family lineage would be out the window.

It would be interesting to see whether it would be swept under the carpet.

If it came to that I think you'll find Harry would only be there long enough for little George to take over. George is 3rd in line Harry is 4th.

Harry is now 5th...and will go down again if William has more kids.

After King Charles...but probably not Queen Camilla...due to Diana's incident.
I think most people hope they skip straight to William.

They are mainly ceremonial figureheads...and bring in millions of tourism dollars for the UK. The Queen can overrule Parliament in the UK but rarely does.

Charles might have had to agree to step aside for William as part of the deal to marry Camilla

And Phillip wasn't born in England, he was born in Greece, so he can never become King of England

Thank gawd for small mercies, imagine Phillip as king, just about every time he opens his mouth some crazy comment comes out.
And then Charles hells bells I am a monacist, but if that inbred idiot comes to the throne I am jumping ship.

After William comes his son Prince George, then daughter Charlotte...Harry (and all the others) go down with each of Williams children.

Of course due to their age Harry could rule "in their name" for a while if everyone above him was dead and they are still minors...this is usually the stage in history where the kids "have an accident" and Harry keeps the Crown.

Not sure if serious...but most probably modern human evolved near the equator in Africa. As migrations occurred over eons the lighter skinned variants did better further from the equator. Their skin colour better able to process low sunlight levels into vitamin D, an important process in our bodies for our health. The trade off that lighter skins were more susceptible to skin cancers than darker tones.
If you've ever seen a european royal up close you'll notice they are quite white, perfectly adapted to life in Europe! And having never spent a day in the fields working they have no red neck tan lines!

The Royal Families are mixed because of power at play in the world and they did not marry who they wanted to, it was arranged marriages for reasons, some for money so they married into Wealthy Jews who were bankers, Christians were not allowed to lend your money for interest, once such was the death penalty for Christians.

Poor Prince Charles was forced to marry that simple minded dolt and the media can make any fool come across as they see fit or be it real bad even if the person is great.

The only education most get is from the media and most can or could never fathom past such a form of indoctrination.

The History of England shows how the Hanover Windsor family took control of all the UK and even the Romans ruled once, as did all the other smaller kingdoms that were destroyed all through the UK.

I think the Bible says only 3 brothers and one woman only mentioned after the flood and they became the races we know of nowadays.
I believe we all come from the one race, the human race.
We have different cultures and we should give respect to that.
I would say that people have not evolved, if anything it's bugger at all.
The strong healthy survive and the weaker don't, so breeding like we see lions etc look too the alpha male and 2 inbreeds or such only would fail to survive, such was the case with Australian abos before Cook and any harsh reality tribes, all had harsh rules to abide by, for the good of the tribe and tribes that did not follow them failed and you were given your wife so the baby would be strong and healthy end of story. if you were not a inducted man who past the test you did not get a wife, you were considered a boy regardless of how old you were.

Ironic that most "Australians" with all this knowledge of the Royal family and their history, have no idea about Australia and it's history.
