This article in the Sunday Express highlights the fact that currently Queens regnant are treated as being less important than Kings regnant.
It is, in fact, a matter of discussion as to what title the Monarch's spouse is given when the Monarch is crowned.
There are a number of options to deal with this:
- To give the monarch the choice of a number of titles for his or her spouse
- To have all called the same.
- To have a resolution of parliament to resolve the issue each time.
There is a bill coming to parliament that would facilitate resolving this aspect of sex discrimination where a Queen is treated as being less important than a King.

How about the spouse (of either gender) or a reigning King being a Qong, and of a Queen... a Kong?
At least it would make us smile.
