King Phillip of England is dead.

Prince Consort. One of the early bones of contention between him & the Queen early in their marriage, in fact, was that she declined to have him made King.

Yet he most definitely wore the pants within his family. Probably explains much of why Chuckles is such a messed-up guy. His fave in the family was Princess Anne, who in some ways was as much of a bitch as Philip was a bastard.

Royals SLIDE:

I don’t think the Queen had the power to “have him made king”.

Just looked it up:

> a rule that states the husband of a ruling queen is called prince consort, just as wives of kings are typically referred to as queen consort.

> the title of king is only given to a royal who inherits the throne and can reign, which is the case for the Queen and Prince Philip’s eldest son Prince Charles when he ascends to the throne.
