Close, but i would say that "queen" covers two different jobs: being a female monarch and the older 'wife to the king'. Some queens are monarchs and some are only wife, with no right to rule on thier own (ie they are not daughter to any previous monarch). Kings are only ever kings by right.


I believe there is such a thing as the king-consort.
