A question or two, maybe someone could answer?
From my understanding, Prince Philip was never crowned consort, instead, he was the first person to pledge his allegiance to the queen...
My question is, why was Prince Philip never crowned consort? I know the Queen has wanted to give him a higher title, like prince of the commonwealth or prince of the realm, but why never consort?
I also have another question, but on a different topic. When the kingdoms of Britain and Hanover were ruled by the same monarch, is that similar to today in the way that QEII rules Great Britain and Australia, Canada, etc.? Is that kind of the same idea... same monarch, different crowns, but united together?
Thanks if you can help answer my questions.
