We either have a king or queen. Old racist, the Greek bloke would be King by your rationale. He's just the Queen's husband.

Head of state is either a King or a Queen; never both.

Kate will be Queen. Whoever the King marries becomes Queen (this was also true of Mrs SImpson).

However, when the Monarch is a Queen, she does not have a King.

Confusing, but there it is.

Royal Top trumps aint it..... King trumps Queen so the Queen cant rule and have a King but the King can rule and take a Queen.

She will still be queen however when William inherits the monarchy but not in the same way as our present Queen of course.

I think the pair of them will be very good for this country as our present Queen has been for all these years and still is of course.

The Queen had in her gift the ability to bestow Kate with a Princess title (which she withheld) but once Charles becomes King, Kate will be 'upgraded' to Princess.... unless she's since shagged someone else.
