A
queen consort is the wife of a reigning
king, and usually shares her spouse's social
rank and status. She holds the feminine equivalent of the king's monarchical
titles and may be crowned and anointed, but historically she does not formally share the king's political and military powers, unless on occasion acting as
regent.
[1][2]
In contrast, a
queen regnant is a female
monarch who rules
suo jure (Latin for, "in her own right") and usually becomes queen by inheriting the throne upon the death of the previous monarch.
[3]
A
queen regnant (pl.: queens regnant) is a female
monarch, equivalent in rank, title and position to a
king. She reigns
suo jure (in her own right) over a
realm known as a kingdom; as opposed to a
queen consort, who is married to a reigning king; or a queen
regent, who is the guardian of a child monarch and rules
pro tempore in the child's stead or instead of her husband who is absent from the realm, be it
de jure in sharing power or
de facto in ruling alone. A queen
regnant is sometimes called a
woman king.
[1][2] A
princess regnant is a female monarch who reigns
suo jure over a
principality; an
empress regnant is a female monarch who reigns
suo jure over an
empire.
