The term King Mother is rarely used, but most of the cases being the King Mother is not a queen consort to the King. The Queen Mother is a queen dowager, the former queen consort (her husband, the king died) and the mother of the reigning monarch (her son or daughter), the concept of a Queen Mother predates Queen Regnant (a female monarch who reign in her own right).
