Zorch, Gentlemen are the men with titles and Ladies either have their own title, are married to a man with a title, or both. Men do not take a title from their wife so if they do not have a title on their own, they are referred to as a "consort" which I think is another term for "Stud."
No, this might once have been the definition, but it is no longer so. Languages evolve. And so does the meaning of words.
And nowdays men do get titles from their wife. And has for quite some time.
Well, that Dame Holmes is a Lady and if she is married the rules state that the husband does not gain the title.
Prince Phillip is referred to as a consort.
He might very well be referred to as a consort. But he isn't one. He is a Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and he is the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. He is not a Price consort.
Besides, you can refer to Ladies who are married to men with titles as is the consorts as well. Queen consort, for example. The term, and title, consort is antiquated in my humble opinion.
He is still the consort. He was given the titles of Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich before his wedding. He became a prince in England later. He had previously given up his on royal titles.
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is not a consort. You may very well call him anything you so please. But he is officially not a consort.

As a title rather than description, "Prince Consort" is unique to Prince Albert. The title was awarded to him in 1857 by his wife, Queen Victoria. Before Prince Albert, there had only been five English, Scottish, or British male consorts, whose titles varied widely. Mary I of England's husband Philip was declared king jure uxoris and given powers equal to his wife, but Queen Anne's husband Prince George of Denmark received no British titles other than the Dukedom of Cumberland (his princely title being Danish). Meanwhile, the official title of the three husbands of Mary, Queen of Scots was never fully resolved. At least one (Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley), was declared king consort, and both he and his predecessor Francis II of France sought recognition as king jure uxoris, but the title and powers of the consort were a constant issue during Mary's reign and remained unresolved when Mary was captured and executed. The only male consort since Prince Albert's death, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (consort of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms), was made a peer and later a Prince of the United Kingdom but is not titled as Prince Consort.
I never stated that he as titled as Prince Consort, only that he is a consort. He earned his own recognition for his actions during World War II as a British Naval Officer where he was ordered to serve.
