Prince consort
A prince consort is the husband of a queen regnant who is not himself a king in his own right. Prince Henrik of Denmark is an example of a current prince consort. In recognition of his status, a prince consort may be given a formal title, such as Prince, Prince Consort or King consort, with Prince being the most common. However, most monarchies do not have formal rules on the styling of princes consort, and a prince consort may have no royal title. Exceptions exist such as in the case of Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld. Prince Consort is a formal title. Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is the only spouse of a British queen to have held it: it was awarded to him in 1857 by his wife, Queen Victoria. In 2005 Prince Henrik, the spouse of Margrethe II of Denmark, was awarded the same title. Neither the descriptive princess consort nor the title 'Princess Consort' has yet been used in Western monarchies, as dynastic wives of kings have been styled queens consort, often with the title 'Queen'. However, Clarence House has announced that when the present Prince of Wales becomes the sovereign of the United Kingdom, his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, will have the title Her Royal Highness The Princess Consort rather than Her Majesty The Queen as used by previous wives of kings.
