Is it just because she's the 2nd wife? Or because he was banging her while he was still married to Di?

I read up a little bit on it, and it isn't completely unprecedented for divorcees and 2nd wives to not get the higher title. It does seem kind of dumb. I read also that giving the ruling Queen's husband the title of Prince Consort over King Consort is more a tradition than a law, but the source wasn't an academic one, so I don't know if that is actually true.
I do find it ridiculous that the Queen had to give her blessing for the marriage of her adult son, but technically, the Queen is religious head of the state as well as the ruling monarch. Not having an Anglican marriage is a big deal for a monarch apparently.
