    I always heard that a wife could be Queen but a husband (non-royal) could not be King.

    I was referring to the fiasco years ago where the Queen's uncle abdicated because of his wanting to marry a divorced woman.
    That would be Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII. According to Wikipedia, for whatever it's worth, there were religious, legal, political and moral objections to the match. Among them was the fact that Edward was nominal head of the Church of England and the church did not allow divorced people to remarry if their exes were still alive -- an absolutely hilarious stance when you consider who launched the process of creating the C of E and why.

    As for Kate, I believe her title will officially be Queen of England but technically she'll be a queen consort -- she'll have no actual authority. Not sure about Camilla. Then again, I'm not sure Charles will ever get the throne either.
