Why a King’s Wife Is the Queen, But a Queen’s Husband Isn’t the King 为什么国王的妻子是王后，而女王的丈夫不是国王 At 133 words long, Prince Philip’s full title includes the words duke, earl, baron, royal knight, and just about every other noble designation you can think of. But the highest and perhaps most obvious moniker is conspicuously missing: king. 菲利普亲王的全名有133个单词，包括公爵、伯爵、男爵、皇家骑士，以及你能想到的几乎所有其他贵族头衔。但却唯独缺少那个最响亮、或许也是最明显的一个别名：国王。 If you’ve watched The Crown or spent a lot of time reading about British monarchs, you might be aware that women who marry kings are referred to as queens—the most recent example was Queen Elizabeth II’s mother, who was known as Queen Elizabeth after her husband assumed the throne. The technical phrase is queen consort, where consort basically means that you gained your title through marriage. Why, then, did Prince Philip not become King Philip (or king consort) after his wife’s coronation? 如果你看过《王冠》，或者花了很多时间阅读英国君主的书籍，你可能会知道，嫁给国王的女性被称为女王——最近的例子是伊丽莎白女王二世的母亲，她在她的丈夫继承王位后被称为伊丽莎白女王。专业术语是王后，意思是你通过婚姻获得了你的头衔。那么，为什么菲利普亲王在他的妻子加冕后没有成为菲利普国王（或王夫）呢? |
