The answer is the King....unless there was no male heir in which case you have a ruling Queen and no king at all....now if there is a male heir he is king and can marry in which case you get a queen, but she has no real power.....A Queen can never marry a man who can become King he would only be a Prince,such as Phillip of England.....P.S. in England neither has any actual power over the government they are meerly figure heads

Either a King or a Queen may be the one who is more powerful. To qualify this statement it depends entirely on who is the direct heir to the throne. In the case of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother), the King was the more powerful since she was his Queen Consort. This means she has no real powers, except that according to British tradition, the Queen Consort is given a higher rank, then a Prince Consort, such as Prince Philip and/or Prince Albert husband to Queen Victoria.

This depends on the particular era as well as the individuals involved. Societies have traditionally favored male rule only and have only resorted to female rule when no other legitimate heirs were available.
Take the British royal family, for example. Sometimes a female sovereign's reign led to disastrous results when the queen was a pawn to different factions, for example, Mary Tudor or Mary Queen of Scots. Sometimes, the queen was able to stabilize society (albeit usually briefly), for example, Elizabeth I and most probably II, and Victoria.

In my opinion I'd have to say neither. Not to mention good or bad decisions isn't gender selective. No matter if it's a king or a queen they can both either do a good job or screw up royally... no pun intended.

The monarch is the monarch regardless of gender. Many Kings did great things for England, but so did Victoria and Elizabeth

Whichever one has the right to rule. As we see today, QEII has all the rights and powers the throne has to offer. Her lineage, not her sex, confers this right. She inherited it from her father. When and if Charles becomes King, his power will be the same as his mother's is now, not because he is male, but because of his lineage, from his MOTHER. Camilla, as Queen Consort, will have no power, not because she is female, but because she has no royal lineage.
