Prince Philip was not made king due to longstanding British royal tradition: when a man marries a Queen, he does not automatically take the male version of the title. Elizabeth II designated him a Prince and later Duke of Edinburgh; he never held the title of king. In short, the position was a matter of protocol and title rules, not personal choice. This is why his wife could be Queen, but he remained Duke (and later Prince) rather than King .[3][5]
