Normally, he is known as the Prince Consort, just as the woman who marries a King, but is not the Queen of anything in her own right, is actually the Queen Consort.

Also: point of trivia for Roche P. Anne pulled herself and thus her children out of the line of succession. Things would have to get REALLY dicey for her to allow them to succeed the throne. I believe that happened when she married Mark Phillips way back in the 1970s. The decision, that is.

In europe, when a man marries a Queen, it is more common for him become a Prince Consort, and titled and styled as "His Royal Highness Prince X."

A prince consort, generally speaking, is a common term for the husband of a Queen Regnant, unless he himself also is a king in his own right. Current examples include the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (husband of Elizabeth II, prince consort in each of the realms of which she is Queen), and Prince Henrik of Denmark (husband of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark).

The title "King consort" could also be awarded to the husband of a Queen, however, this is very rare. King Consort is a title given in some monarchies to the husband of a queen regnant. Nowadays, it is a symbolic title only, the sole constitutional function of the holder being similar to a queen consort, namely to produce an heir to the throne. Spain, Portugal, England and Scotland have all had kings consort; however, since the rank of king normally outranks that of queen, in most monarchies the queen's husband is given the title of prince or prince consort instead.

It depends, but not usually. If a man marries a queen regnant he usually becomes a prince consort. Occasionally, however, he becomes a king consort. On the other hand, a man who marries a queen regnant never becomes a King regnant.

Depending on the kingdom. Look at the British Crown. Do you ever hear about the King or the Queen? If it's a blood line rule, A queen who marries will hand off her title to her male son. Usually it's the oldest male son. If she has no son and dies, then it goes to a daughter. If she has no kids, then it goes to the oldest son of her cousins/uncles bloodline.

It's hard to explain, there are many speculations. Look at this way. If you are not connected to the crown through blood, you will never be queen or king. If you die, instead or your spouse getting the crown, it will go to your family that is tie to you through blood. That's if bloodline is a must.

I believe the term is the Queen's Consort. He does not become king.

No, it's not automatic. I believe he is a consort, and referred to as Prince. For instance, when Elizabeth II was crowned Queen, Philip was not made King.

No,in the UK he does not. A reigning queen must bear the highest title,and that means that there can be no higher title than Queen Regent.The title King presumes the monarch,since King Regent is a higher title than that of a Queen,so that makes it an unavailable to a queen's husband.That is why the Queen's husband is PRINCE CONSORT;he's the spouse of a reigning queen and not the ruler.

It would take an Act of Parliament to name a reigning Queen's spouse a king.Monarchies are inherited,generally.

No, lineage is biologiocal and hereitary thru the masculine line.

In most cases the husband of a sovereign Queen will become the Prince Consort, or in Imperial Russia the Grand Duke.

When ERII married Prince Philip, her father made him Duke of Edinburgh.  This particular Duchy is not heriditary, and is reserved for the male consort to a sovereign queen, as was also the case with Victoria, whose cinsort Prince Albert was Duke of Edinburgh tiull his death in 1861, when it fell away to be used next again by Philip.

Succession is an ongoing battle of the sexes in the Royal Family.  See this:

Charles>Anne>Andrew>Edward

The line of succession is thus

Charles>Andrew>Edward>Anne

But, seeing as the 3 sons have kids now, it is

Charles>William>Harry>Andrew>Beatrice>...

In other words, as long as the line is supplemented in the beginning, by either sons or daughters, Anne and the rest will always move further down the line. William & harry will have kids, their kids will have kids, etc, so we can safely assume that it will, for the foreseeable future be

Charles>William>his sons>...

No, he would not. The reigning queen would have to crown him king in order for him to become one, and in doing so the queen gives up her right of queenship and therefore merely becomes a queen consort. This is what usually occured when a king only had daughters, i.e King George VI. His daughter, as you would now her as, Queen Elizabeth, married...but named her husband Prince Consort instead so she could still be Queen.
