I mean, historically, the King's wife got the title of Queen, why shouldn't it be the other way around?

Because he is the Queen's Consort...and not in the line of Succession.
"As husband of the Sovereign, The Duke of Edinburgh was not crowned or anointed at the Coronation ceremony in 1953. He was the first layman to do homage to The Queen, kneeling at her feet before kissing her left cheek; he was followed in the act by the other peers of the realm."
...from Fact Files: the Duke of Edinburgh

because he's not the king. he's in the line of succession, yet, properly down the record - in the 50's someplace. So, the Queen and 50 odd persons might want to opt to die for him to change into king. In maximum places, consisting of the united kingdom, a woman can use a courtesy variety of the guy's call and identify, yet, it doesn't paintings any opposite direction round. for this reason miss Sally Jones can use the call Mrs John Smith after she marries. interior of a similar way miss Sally Jones can change into Princess John if she marries a prince. yet, if the Queen married a commoner, he may be an basic Mister. in truth, Phillip gave up his overseas titles to marry Elizabeth, and replaced into given the Dukedom by technique of King George. Elizabeth created him a Prince of the united kingdom 10 years after their marriage. If those 2 issues were no longer carried out, he can be a Mister to this present day.

Only the King's son can be a king. Queen Elizabeth's father didn't have a son. So the eldest daughter became Queen, her husband becomes something else. But not the king. Kings go by blood line, hence the queen's husband isn't of royal blood.
