The Duke of Edinburgh was not granted the title of king because of a rule that states the husband of a ruling queen is called prince consort, just as wives of kings are typically referred to as queen consort.

Sort of analogous, I guess, to us common men who are Mr., before and after getting married, while the women become a Mrs., if she so chooses.
