If Diana, Princess of Wales and Charles III had remained married and Charles became king, Diana would have become queen consort — meaning the king’s spouse, not a reigning monarch in her own right.
If Charles then died, Diana would not automatically become monarch. The throne would pass according to the line of succession, which is based on bloodline, not marriage. In that scenario, their eldest son William, Prince of Wales would become king immediately.
Diana’s status afterward would likely have been something like “Queen Dowager” (widow of a king), though the exact styling could have been handled specially by the royal household and Parliament. She could potentially have served as a counselor, regent, or influential royal figure if the heir were underage — but not as sovereign queen unless she herself were in the bloodline of succession, which she was not.
This is similar to how:
Camilla is queen consort because she is married to the king.
Elizabeth II was queen regnant — the actual monarch by inheritance.
