And his wife is also the Queen of England.

Wait, really? I thought she was called something else, since the Queen’s husband was called the Prince concert.

Prince concert consort

FTFY

Camilla had the title of Queen consort, but the ‘consort’ was dropped the day she, and Charles, were coronated.

Her ‘Queen’ is nothing like Elisabeth’s ‘Queen’.

No

Tighten is correct.

There is no Queen and no King of England, the title was abolished in 1707 with the Acts of Union, when England and Scotland were joined into the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Accordingly the correct title is: The King / Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

There hasn’t been a Queen of England since 1 May 1707.

recent supreme court rulings make a president immune to prosecution for “official acts”, so all the treason trump did while in office is ok according to the supreme court.

This has bugged me forever, because, surprisingly, Tighten is correct.

Isn’t the king’s wife the queen? Like, I know that the queen’s husband wasn’t the king, because that would have meant he ranked higher or something like that. But that wouldn’t be an issue the other way around, because sexism. Wasn’t it something like that?

Yes. ‘Queen Regnant’ and ‘Queen Consort’ can distinguish between the two.
