United Kingdom
It has been announced that the title will be given to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, as an alternative to usual title of queen consort when her husband, Charles, Prince of Wales, becomes King of the United Kingdom.
Previously, all women married to British kings regnant (except Mary II who was a joint-sovereign) have become queens consort. In addition, the husband of Mary I of England, Philip, was made king consort.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“The United Nations cannot do anything, and never could; it is not an animate entity or agent. It is a place, a stage, a forum and a shrine ... a place to which powerful people can repair when they are fearful about the course on which their own rhetoric seems to be propelling them.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“A lifetime [or, eternity] is a child playing, playing checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
