}}{{other uses|Consort (disambiguation)}}

A consort is a person of either sex who has an official status through in an intimate relationship, often through marriage or concubinage, with a significant figure such as a monarch or head of state. The term "has its roots in seventeenth-century vocabulary in both New England and England", where it was initially used to mean a spouse.[1] In more recent usage it has been noted that the term, "though literally denoting a partner or spouse, is a heavily loaded term, for a consort is usually implied to be a mere appendage, far inferior in power and status to his or her spouse".[2]

Variations in royalty include:

  • Queen consort, wife of a reigning king
  • Prince consort, husband of a reigning queen
  • King consort, rarely used alternative title for husband of a reigning queen
  • Princess consort, rarely used alternative title for wife of a reigning king

In addition the spouse of the Governor General of Canada was known as the Viceregal consort of Canada.
