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.

I was thinking more along the lines of persuading Parliament or some such madness. LOL :-)
Lots and lots and lots of very strong anti-Phillip sentiment at GAW today. Not sure I agree with it. The Queen genuinely did love the guy, even if he was a whole lot less than ideal as a husband and father.
The rumors of Phillip’s (and the Queen’s) participation in certain very sordid activities is based, as far as I’ve been able to discover, on Internet rumors and tabloids. I’d say more [actual] investigation needs to be done to ascertain what the truth is or isn’t. Decisions can then be made accordingly.
Btw, how is your knee since the replacement? Hope you’re 100% pain-free and are getting around just like you did pre-surgery.
