When a king inherits the throne on the death of his father, his wife becomes Queen Consort and his mother, if she's still alive, becomes Queen Mother.
A king's wife is Queen Consort, but if the reigning monarch is a Queen rather than a king then her husband is Prince Consort, e.g. Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.
