First Family

The Queen's sons are Princes and her daughter is a Princess.
When the Princes Marry, their wives automatically become Princesses. In fact when Prince Charles becomes King, his wife, Princess Diana, will become Queen.
But the present Queen's husband is not a King. He is Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. And Princess Anne's husband is not a Prince. He is simply Captain Mark Philips - not even a Duke!
Should this be a matter for the Women's Liberation Movement? Or do we need a movement for the liberation of men?
