There is a King of England, though
No
Tighten is correct.
There is no Queen and no King of England, the title was abolished in 1707 with the Acts of Union, when England and Scotland were joined into the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Accordingly the correct title is: The King / Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
There hasn't been a Queen of England since 1 May 1707.
And his wife is also the Queen of England.
Wait, really? I thought she was called something else, since the Queen's husband was called the Prince concert.
FTFY
Camilla had the title of Queen consort, but the 'consort' was dropped the day she, and Charles, were coronated.
Her 'Queen' is nothing like Elisabeth's 'Queen'.
Ugh, there's always something I miss with voice to text. So why was she the queen consort (and then queen) instead of the princess consort, like Elizabeth's husband was the Prince consort (and stayed Prince consort)?
Because in that archaic system, Kings are greater than Queens, so if Phillip was King instead of Prince Consort, he would have outranked Elizabeth.
