-—The queen is queen by virtue of her being married to the king not by being his mother.——

Yes.

The Queen Mother is different from the Queen.

Agreed?

The queen is married to the king. The queen mother is the king’s mother.

When Bathsheba was married to King David, she was the queen.

When Solomon was king, Bathsheba, as his mother, was the queen mother.

When Bathsheba was queen, she bowed to David. When she was queen mother, David bowed to her, and she sat at his right hand.

As queen mother, Bathsheba enjoyed a more exalted position than she did as queen.

Since Mary is Jesus’ mother, and not His wife, she would be the Queen Mother of the King of the eternal House of David, Jesus.

Sorry dude. Just as Nitzevet was never queen having never been married to a King even though she was king David’s mother neither is Mary queen.
