According to Reader’s Digest, although parliamentary law doesn’t consider gender in determining the line of succession, it does factor it into the designation of titles. In general, a wife assumes the female form of her husband’s title. This is why Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex when Prince Harry was named the Duke of Sussex, and it’s also why Kate Middleton will likely become Queen Catherine if and when Prince William is crowned king.
据《读者文摘》报道,尽管议会法律在决定继承权时没有考虑性别因素,但在头衔的指定中确实考虑了性别因素。一般来说,妻子是其丈夫头衔的女性形式。这也就是当哈里王子被任命为萨塞克斯公爵时,梅根·马克尔成为了萨塞克斯公爵夫人的原因,也是如果威廉王子加冕成为国王,凯特·米德尔顿很可能成为凯瑟琳女王的原因。
Husbands, on the other hand, don’t automatically match their wives’ titles, especially when it comes to the reigning monarchs. As Town and Country explains, queen can still be a symbolic title, but king only ever describes a reigning monarch. In other words, the word queen can either mean “female monarch” or “the wife of a monarch,” whereas king can only mean “monarch.” It’s a vestige of a historically patriarchal system of government that used to value sons over daughters (and it also sheds light on why kings rank higher than queens in a deck of cards).
