She and Philip were married on my first birthday!)

Philip is a Prince, not a consort. He is not King because QEII is the one royal blood, and her husband can't have a higher title than her. King is higher than Queen.
ETA: MC and I were typing at the same time. I've read that Philip is not considered a consort because they are religiously and civilly married, while Charles and Camilla are only civilly married.
