In a Constitutional Monarchy (like the United Kingdom) it is Parliament who decides who will be King, Queen, or whatever. When the reigning monarch (currently QE2) wants to award somebody a new rank or title The House of Commons has to approve. The Queen has no official role in this except to advise the Prime Minister. For example the law says that the wife of a king is a "queen" so like it or not when Charles becomes king, Camella becomes queen. She can decide not to use the title but it will be hers just as she is currently the "Princess of Wales"!

No, because when the soberaign is a woman she only can gvie the title of Prince consort.
the unique king consort in England was Phillip of Spain, husband of the Queen Mary I Tudor.
In Spain was a king consorts the Husband of Isabella II of Spain (1833-1868) the King consort Francis of Asis and Bourbon, and in Portugal the King consorts Peter (1770) and Ferdinand (1856)Mary I and II of Portugal .
In the rest of monarchies of Europe when a woman is in the throne her husband only can be the prince consort like in Holland or Denmark, but when the King is a man he became his wife a queen

She could make him "King Consort." King consort is a title given in some monarchies to the husband of a queen. It is a symbolic title only, the sole constitutional function of the holder being similar to a queen consort, namely to produce an heir to the throne.
Spain, Portugal, England and Scotland have all had kings consort, however, since the rank of king normally outranks that of queen, in most monarchies the queen's husband is given the title of prince or prince consort instead.
Legally speaking, Prince Philip cannot become King in his own right, he is of royal blood as Prince of Greece and Denmark, but not from the House of Windsor so he does not have any claim to the English throne.

Well, you would think so, especially as when Prince Charles becomes King, he has the power to make Camilla the Queen. But, its not as simple as that. Women can take husbands' last name and works the same in this case but not the other way around even if Camilla is Princess Consort and Prince Philip is Prince Consort.
Its all politics nowadays, anyway!

No. He is Prince Consort and can never rank higher than that. The passage of the crown is very strictly laid out - it goes by primogeniture, and only through blood relatives. Phillip is neither a child nor a blood relative of the Queen.

I'm thinking, if it really, really came down to it, yes.
Queen Victoria toyed with the idea of making Prince Albert king.
In the long run, it'd be going back and forth with various prime ministers, favors and a wear on everyone's nerves.
The time for him to have been made king passed long ago. I don't think he ever wanted to be named king and was content to stand a couple of few feet behind his wife loaded down with a ton of metals.
The whole of the island is Great Britian, when the Queen dies, will the loss be so great as to be just become Britain?

The queen can not make Philip king, only an act of parliament could do so. The queen has very few constitutional powers, that is because we are a democracy.

Yeah... he chose not to be King. (King Consort).
As of July 2007, the Duke is the oldest surviving great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria and is c. 475th in the line of succession to the British Throne in his own right (through his great-grandmother Princess Alice).

Why would she want to do that? Statistically he is likely to predecease her and I do not think she will abdicate in favour of him. Nice as Phillip is he has absolutely no entitlement to the throne.

The answer is no because he is not british born. Thats why Queen Victoria's husband was known as prince Albert ( he was German, and Prince Philip Is Greek)
