I doubt that will happen. It almost makes him seem "higher" than Victoria. Prince Daniel, Duke of Vastergotland (hope I spelled it right) sounds good to me
.
"Higher" than Victoria? Why is a king (consort) higher than a queen (regnant)? What about gender equality?
That's exactly the problem. The Swedish monarchy is supposed to be gender blind, yet we still consider
female monarchs to be inferior to male monarchs. How? Well, husband of a female monarch is not allowed to share his wife's rank and title because the title of king is thought to be superior to the title of queen! Why would the masculine title be higher than the feminine title?
He wouldn't be His Majesty Prince Daniel upon Victoria becoming Queen. I don't think it is right for him to become His Majesty King Consort.
He doesn't have an equal rank to Victoria. He could either be the Prince Consort or just Prince Daniel.
Did Miss Silvia Sommerlath, a
flight attendant, have an "equal rank" to King Carl XVI Gustaf? We all know the answer, yet she became a Majesty and Queen of Sweden.
Daniel will I'm sure, just like Henrik, Philip and Bernhard before him, only ever be an HRH at the most.
Henrik, Philip and Bernhard were never husbands of heiresses apparent. Their wives were heiresses presumptive. The monarchies of the United Kingdom, Denmark and the Netherlands used
male-preferance cognatic primogeniture and did not claim to be "gender-blind". 21st century Sweden is probably a bit different than 20th century UK, Denmark and the Netherlands.
It has never been known that a spouse of a Queen is known as HM King Consort.
King Francis of Spain, King Francis of Scotland, King Henry of Scotland, etc?
He will most likely be known as His Royal Highness Prince Daniel, The Prince Consort.
Which is the way it should be done.
Why should it be done that way? Is that gender equality, wives of kings being queens and husbands of queens being princes?
King Philip II of Spain upon his marriage to Queen Mary I became King Consort of England and Ireland.
Actually, Philip became monarch (not consort) of England and Ireland by marrying Mary I, thanks to a special Act of Parliament and their marriage treaty.
