Lots of gender issues in royalty.
Used to be a firstborn daughter can't become Queen if there are younger sons, but I think they are fixing that.

I heard that King is considered a higher rank, and since Queen Elizabeth is the heir, granted Phillip the title of King would mean he would technically have more power than Elizabeth, the rightful "ruler" of the Kingdom.
Phillip is her hubby and was given the title Prince after she was crowned Queen. Charles or William would be King though.
When/If William is crowned King, Kate would become Queen as that is the title bestowed to the King's consort, but the reverse is not true.
This is all accurate. 
The only thing I would add is that the Duke of Edinburgh was a prince before he got married. He was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.

That is also true lol, he did renounce his royal titles and took the surname of his British relatives if I remember correctly?
How would you like to be Princess Alexandra, the Hon. Lady Ogilvy, 40th in line to the throne? Who would be completely booted back a space by that "tummybug"

I doubt you'd care, at that position in line to the throne your chances of "moving up" to the serious contention would require something along the lines of a massive natural disaster, a master assassination plot organized by you or for you to be John Goodman.
