Why is Philip not king?

[Henny Penny]

Can anyone explain why prince philip is not King Philip?

Have you tried ?

I presume this is a rhetorical question!

Because Elizabeth is Queen by birth. If he was King he'd be 'senior' to her, so he can't be. The title transfers to the Spouse only if it's from a man to a woman, ie Charles wife could be Queen - but he would still be the senior party. More antifemale nonsense... but that's another post!!!

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
