Queen Elizabeth (Elizabeth II’s mother), Queen Mary, and Queen Alexandra were all Queen consorts for example. If Diana had lived and still been charles’ wife, she would have been Queen consort too. I believe there was discussion once that Camilla might take the title Princess consort , but Queen Elizabeth specified Camilla would be Queen consort last year?
The comparable title for men is Prince consort from what I’ve gathered, although I think there has only been Prince Phillip and Prince Albert in the UK. It has to do with the way kings and queens have been traditionally viewed because a king outranks a queen, so a queen can’t be married to a king consort. A ruling Queen is technically a queen regnant not a Queen consort.
