I do seriously have a problem with that word, "Consort", though. I suppose it might be just common usage differences between over seas and here in the States. When I hear the word "consort", I think of an unmarried companion or a mistress or gigolo. Certainly, my first thought is not the spouse of a monarch.

Doesn't help that the verb means to associate with undesirable characters , guess the royals do mix with the peerage.
