I’m not sure the title of the spouse is the equivalent.
Prince is πρίγκιπας in Greek, but king is different than a prince.
If the queen is ruling, her husband is prince because a king would be above her hierarchically.

In English, one could clarify what type of queen with phrases like “Queen Regnant” vs “Queen Consort”.
Again, we observe that the ogf dwellers cannot resist returning to the familiar comfort of linguistics
Yes, in Dutch as wel, koning & koningin, similar gender rule as vriend & vriendin (friend).
Unfortunately we’re still stuck with a (rather stupid) king…
This is the same in Dutch and German.
Is the concept of a crowned Queen common in Europe? (from 1500 - today?)
I thought that most times the boss queen is a widow or a mother and in most countries they wouldn’t crown a girl even if it meant war.
Norway’s current first born is a girl, but her younger brother will be king. (in the vein of this thread, the tea is she’s marrying a shaman, known grifter).
I think other countries are moving past “only the first boy counts”, but what do we expect from monarchy, to be progressive? ![]()
Our previous three monarchs were queens who were just first in line in the inheritance. The current crown princess is as well. We haven’t ever had a widow queen, since they wouldn’t be part of the Dutch lineage.
I think most monarchies in Europe work like this, with equal primogeniture, including Norway. We’ve had a prince give up his royal inheritance because he married a friend of a drug lord. For some reason our king got away with marrying the daughter of a minister of the Argentina’s genocidal dictator Videla without having to do the same.
Well, it seems we have to wait a generation, then, for Norway…
I will make no comment

“we”? So you’re somewhere not too far from my place? I’m seated in the navel of the Lüneburg Heath (yeah, some fluff here also).
Yup, “er ist noch Jungfrau” etc. Quite weird.
