I can't help but think of this:
Sexist if you ask me - she can become a Queen, yet poor old Philip had to be content with being a Prince. First world problems and all that. |  |

Bit ridiculous to call her anything else when the wives of reigning kings have always historically been styled "queen". The only reason George, Albert and Philip were not named "king" was to emphsise the authority of their wives in an era of male primacy. |  |

So is it just convention rather than any constitutional requirement? That would seem remarkably enlightened for an otherwise very conservative and traditionalist royal family. Quite surprising really. | |

Convention is how the constitution is guided. But it's also flexible. In 1936 a king was forced to abdicate because he wanted to marry a divorcee*, in 2023 a divorced king is about to be crowned with no questions asked.
* IMO, there was a bit more to it than that, relating to Edward's personality and the influence Simpson had over him. | |

In 2023 a divorced King who cheated on his young family is about to marry his long term mistress who he cheated on his young family for. Where's the Church of England when you need it | | | |

Until recently, that was even more of a problem!

'King Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth II have received payments equivalent to more than £1bn from two land and property estates that are at the centre of a centuries-old debate over whether their profits should be given to the public instead.'
