The wife of the King is always known as ‘Queen Consort’, usually abbreviated to ‘Queen’.

Her establishment must also so far exceed that of a king or of a queen-consort, as being composed of ladies as well as gentlemen.

The queen-consort of France, and several other ladies of high note, accompanied the monarch to the Holy Land.

This being the Queen-Consort's birthday, there was an extraordinary appearance of gallantry, and a ball danced at Court.

It was unfortunate that, both at this time and in the Rebellion of 1745, there was no Queen Consort.

Alone, the King and his beautiful Queen-Consort looked questioningly at one another.
