Dear Dagn,
QUESTION:
"How come that the husband of a queen of England cannot become king but on the contrary the wife of a king of England becomes queen automatically?"
ANSWER: "Because the Law says so".
The Crown
The title to the crown derives partly from statute and partly from common law rules of descent. Despite interruptions in the direct line of succession, inheritance has always been the way royal power has passed down the generations, with sons of the sovereign coming before daughters in succeeding to the throne.
When a daughter does succeed, she becomes Queen Regnant and has the same powers as a king. The �consort � of a king takes her husband �s rank and style, becoming Queen. No special rank or privileges are given to the husband of a Queen Regnant.
Dagn, Here is a problem for your Boss.
QUESTION: "How come that, in the language of France, the word "AMOUR", (in the Singular), is Masculine, but on the contrary, this same word "AMOURS", (in the Plural), becomes Feminine automatically?" (R�f�rence: "Larousse" Grand Dictionnaire, page 33-34.)
VIVE la FRANCE!
