@LisbonMuse I live in a constitutional monarchy and I don't actually know this: is it common that a King and a Queen could be mother/son or father/daughter? I guess the way they do it there is only a King OR a Queen... Right?

But I agree with you that it would be better your way. Like maybe the same way they do it now, but then the spouse of the like top pop King/Queen just still gets the title? So there would have to be an extra title for the top dog I guess..... I'm going to ask ChatGPT.....
