ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Princess consort

Okay kiddo, so sometimes there are ladies who marry a prince, which means they become a princess. But sometimes, a prince might not become king, so his wife wouldn't become a queen. Instead, she might only be given the title of "princess consort." It means she's kind of like a princess, but she doesn't have as much power or influence as a queen. It's like when you play a game with your friends and some people might have different titles or roles. The princess consort is just another title for a lady who married a prince but won't become queen.
