So seventy years ago Philip couldn't be king because him being subservient to his queen wife wouldn't fit with the order of things.
Yet here we are in the 21st century and it's fine to have a queen when the monarch is a king again.
Very progressive.
Nothing has changed there though. The ranking has always been
King > Queen > Prince > PrincessThe change would only come if/when George has a girl first and she marries.
But agreed, it seems an oddity not to make the switch. Maybe they're saving it for Charles so that he can claim some progressive changes now he's Queen
