'King' historically almost always regnant. in example above, Philip II and Philip the Handsome rule jointly with their wives. <br /> <br /> 'Queen' historically is not. There are Queen Regnant, Queen Consort, and Queen Mother. despite claim of 'equal dignity', defacto use is people expect Queen to defer to decision of King. <br /> <br /> its reasonable to prevent confusion by insisting husband of Queen Regnant become 'Prince Consort' since 'King Consort' is so rarely used term.

He should take a look on the mirror, and realize that he is a nobody who pretends to be a royalty. That guy is very out of his place.<br /><br />If he really wanted to be a king then go ahead and found his own kingdom, not by marrying a queen regnant.

CASE CLOSED. In the Victoria example, which happened in the 19th century, Parliament wisely forbade the Queen/Empress from giving her husband Albert equal titles. The specious complaints about giving a woman the title Queen by a King Regnant is just that -- specious. It is an honourific because of her sex. However, in the minds of many people, they WILL NOT understand the honourific nature because he is a MAN (DUH!). An outsider would then possibly be thought an heir to the throne when he is not. Phillip, Prince Consort Of Elizabeth II, should really have a heart to heart discussion with this idiot. Either that or Margarethe II should divorce him.Julia Erganehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613625453621934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-49107137740515401762017-08-09T07:44:36.378-05:002017-08-09T07:44:36.378-05:00''I'm so happy that it isn't you A...''I'm so happy that it isn't you Americans who decide who our sovereign is''<br /><br />Much obliged.<br /><br />''But no matter what, he doesn't hold a candle to Margrethe.

Then they must adhere to the divine order handed down from the Most High. As Christ is the head of the church so the Husband is head of his wife.

For to marry is to image that relationship. In so doing glorifying the God they worship.John Rockwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746216376164151386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-77224531371450112722017-08-08T10:45:32.210-05:002017-08-08T10:45:32.210-05:00I'm so happy that it isn't you Americans w...I'm so happy that it isn't you Americans who decide who our sovereign is.<br /><br />I like Henri more than most Danes, he's certainly been treated unfairly at times, especially by the media. But no matter what, he doesn't hold a candle to Margrethe. Margrethe is a clever, elegant, much less political correct than most other European monarchs and very knowledgeable of our history, and many other topics. Yet, most importantly, she's a Glücksburger, she and her dynasty are a continuation of Danish history. Henri is just a member of some minor French aristocratic family.<br /><br />Furthermore, this isn't the first time he's been acting like a child. In fact, behaviour like this is something that he's become infamous for, and it has been going on for so long that many people suspect him of having become demented.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952592478044283795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-86769579954857571412017-08-07T08:05:38.082-05:002017-08-07T08:05:38.082-05:00Regardless of who should be subordinate to whom, t...Regardless of who should be subordinate to whom, the wife's title is still of equal dignity of that of the husband's when he rules in his own right.

As I read it, it sounds as if he is being difficult because he has not received the title he wants. <br /><br />There are more important issues which he could use his position to address. Perhaps he would make a better case for obtaining his rightful title by acting regal, and taking a leadership role. Passive aggressive displays do nothing to make his case and everything to justify the converse.V.
