The King is also accompanied by his elegantly dressed female consort (nowadays, confusingly, also known as the Queen); played by a woman during recent times, until 1956 "the Woman" was always a man in woman's clothing.
Kongen bliver også ledsaget af sin elegant klædte gemalinde (som også kaldes ”dronningen”); i nutiden spilles dronningens rolle af en kvinde, men indtil 1956 var dronningen en mand klædt ud som kvinde.
