A queen consort is the wife of a reigning king, and usually shares her spouse's social rank and status.

A personal union is a combination of two or more monarchical states that have the same monarch while their boundaries, laws, and interests remain distinct. A real union, by contrast, involves the constituent states being to some extent interlinked, such as by sharing some limited governmental institutions.

The ruler in a personal union does not need to be a hereditary monarch.
