Prince Philip could be titled as "King Consort" if Queen Elizabeth II wanted to, however it is still only a courtesy title. King consort is a title given in some monarchies to the husband of a queen regnant. Nowadays, 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.
When Prince Philip first married to then “The Princess Elizabeth”, he was only styled as “His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh.” It was only until 1957 when Philip was finally styled as "His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh". The Queen has never granted the Prince Philip the title of Prince Consort and it was speculated that she would on their 60th anniversary.
Prince Philip has never been formally designated Prince Consort or King Consort. Maybe it's because he could not satisfy his wife in the bedroom?! These titles are soley given at Her Majesty's discreet.

The King is often above the queen interior the hierarchy subsequently the King's spouse could be Queen however the Queen's husband would be unable to be King. Very sexist yet those are the regulations which seem to have been working properly for hundreds of years. for the reason that, those days, the monarch is rather basically a figurehead it somewhat does not count as much because it did interior the previous.

Because women can take the title of their husband, and men typically can't do the same. The Queen is the monarch in her right, and a king would be higher than the queen.
They probably have sex, if there is no physical impediment-maybe not as much as they used to, but they are married and do love each other very much.

He was not the heir to King George VI,Elizabeth was! George had two daughters as his heirs. Philip, a royal prince in his own right(he's from The Royal House of
Shlesweig-Holstein-Sonderburg-
Glucksburg, a Danish-German House and a prince of Greece),and a third cousin to his wife is Prince Consort because he is a spouse to a reigning queen. NO ONE can have a title higher than the reigning monarch,and since the reigning monarch is QUEEN,no higher title, like king, which presumes the monarch, is used.
And...Yes.But we're not supposed to pay attention to their personal matters!

Rachelle gave you the best answer but I want to add that they have sex. It was written in the American newspapers that they indeed, had a very healthy sex relationship and that was why she was so in love with him. She could never get tired of him. It is also said that he has had many affairs out of marriage.
