The Queen of the U.K.?
Of course there are other countries with a Queen Consort or a Queen Regnant.
===================================
H.R.H. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich, has been married to The Queen since 1947.
He was born Prince of Greece and Denmark in Corfu in 1921, but renounced his Royal title when he became a naturalised British subject in 1947.
Having joined the Royal Navy in 1939, Prince Philip saw active service throughout the Second World War, rising to the rank of Lieutenant. He was present in Tokyo harbour when Japan surrendered.
After Princess Elizabeth became Queen, Prince Philip gave up his naval career to support The Queen in her duties. The Duke of Edinburgh has no constitutional role other than as a Privy Counsellor, and sees no State papers.
But through his active support of a wide range of charities, and through his own initiatives for young people, The Duke of Edinburgh has played a major role both nationally and internationally.
Like The Queen, Prince Philip is a great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria. The Queen and Prince Philip are also related through his father's side. His paternal grandfather, King George I of Greece, was Queen Alexandra's brother.

If she is a Queen Consort (a queen through marriage rather than succession), he is a king. If she is a Queen Regnant (by succession), he cannot be called a king. In Europe a wife does not determine her husband's status, and any title he has will have been specially created rather than automatic on marriage. Were no title granted to him, he would remain 'Mr'.
Prince Albert was the only one whose title was 'The Prince Consort'. The husbands of Elizabeth II and Anne (one of the few married queens) are/were Duke of Edinburgh and Duke of Cumberland. Philip was created Duke of Edinburgh by his father-in-law and a prince of the UK by his wife. The husbands of the Queens of Denmark and the Netherlands are called Prince Consort.

If you're talking about Queen Elizabeth II, her husband is Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Philip's father was Prince Andrew of Greece, and his great-grandfather was King Christian IX of Denmark. Before he married then-Princess Elizabeth, King George VI gave him the titles of "Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich with the style of His Royal Highness and appointed a Knight of the Garter".

He is called Prince, referred to as the Prince Consort, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh. Some people call him Dad, others call him Grandad. He is almost never referred to as 'Hey, you!'

Many people call him Phil the Greek leech, the Greek sponger, bloodsucker, parasite, others call him that idiot. I call him a waste of space, a mistake which we all have to pay for.
