Victoria wanted Albert to be named King. Parliament made it known that they would not go along with it. Albert was not willing to make an issue of it. Victoria was but Albert was far more astute politically then Victoria. He was content will be the “persuader in Chief”. When Albert died Victoria’s reign lost a component that made it sucessful.

Regarding Phillip, I don’t think the issue ever came up. By then UK royalty were national hood ornaments and all were content with that.

Phillip had too many relatives with connections to the NAZIs.   He was glad that Parliament could overlook that.
