With Charles' accession to the throne, his wife of 17 years, Camilla, becomes Queen Consort.

Sir Winston engaged in a series of secret letters with his Lord Chancellor about the prospect of Philip becoming Prince Consort. Royal convention dictates that the wife of a British monarch is given the title Queen Consort. Instead, Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband became consort. A Queen, like a King, is a monarch who reigns over her kingdom. A Queen Consort does not. When King George VI died in 1952, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was no longer Queen Consort as her husband was no longer the reigning monarch.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, were married for 73 years yet her husband never took on the role of King Consort, here's why.

Although there have been many Queen Consorts throughout the Royal Family’s history the title is often shortened to Queen. The Prince consort had been a member of the House of Lords from July 1948, however he declined a life peerage in November 1999 when most hereditary peers were expelled. Talks took place between the UK Government, Buckingham Palace, and members of the Commonwealth, but the title remained Prince Consort, according to Dr Cindy told Abc that in a previously male dominated world the ruling Queen needed to make sure the public recognised her authority as the Head of State. He was not King Consort due to a Royal tradition which dictates that women do not transfer their [Royal](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/all-about/royal-family) titles to their husband. Royal family historian Dr Cindy McCreery believes a long held tradition is behind Prince Philip’s title.

The funeral of the Queen’s father, King George VI, was also held at Windsor. It passed down through the Mall and into Apsley Way before arriving at Wellington Arch shortly before 1.30pm. A few years later, in 2005, a service of dedication and prayer was held in the Chapel following the marriage of the King and the Queen Consort. Leaders of loving service are still rarer.” The coffin was followed by King Charles, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Sussex and other members of the Royal Family. As it moved past the Cenotaph, the King, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex saluted the memorial to Britain and the Commonwealth soldiers killed in the First and Second World Wars.

St George's and Windsor featured prominently throughout the Queen's life. Last year the Queen bid farewell to Philip at St George's in a "Covid-secure" funeral. St George's is the resting place of 10 former British monarchs, including Henry VIII and the beheaded Charles I. The chapel was where she marked many a Christmas and Easter, and where she celebrated the weddings of three of her grandchildren: Prince Harry married Meghan Markle there in 2018, as did Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.
