Sexual Discrimination at the highest level.

King marries, she becomes a queen.

Queen marries he becomes a Duke!

America,

He's President, she becomes first lady.

Now if Hillary Clinton became President, does Bill become the First Gentleman ?

Mind boggles now.

I knew the temptation would be too hard to resist!

Poor Bill, reminds me of a scene in Police Acadomy.
Will Monica ever get over it?

Not Duke. Prince. Still discrimination.

Bessie Windsor is Queen Elizabeth but Phil the Greek is Prince Phillip, not Duke. He is the Duke of Edinburgh.

When a male holds the throne, he is king, and his wife is the queen consort.....not entitled to reign.

When a female holds the throne, she is Queen in her own right, and her husband is her consort with whatever title they choose to give him.....usually NEVER king, just in case he decides he want to take over.

The exception was at the end of the Stuart dynasty, James 2nd's daughter took the throne in a co-regency with her husband William.

 That fits in with Rosie's statement that the Queen names her consort whatever. As Phillip was already a Prince, he retained that title.
