Camilla-Queen Consort?

I’m pleased about this announcement too. I’m glad HM made the announcement now.

Hear hear.....I was never a fan of his ex wife.

I hope they’ll work side by side and do the best for the country. I do agree I wish they’d been given the chance from young as we wouldn’t have a say in who our sins married would we? Good luck to them.

Absolutely, I think HM is quietly sorting out a lot of things now so there is no question later on.

I’m pleased that after years of being portrayed as the Scarlet Woman/Wicked Witch, Camilla is now rightly seen as the valued and loving support to prince Charles that she is. As for the title, the timing had to be right.

I really don't like the woman, who of course I have never met but she seems to have no shame. However with all that is going on in the world it is of very small consequence to me personally. I hope that William and Kate soon become King and Queen. I realise the implications of that statement but I feel there will be even more damage to British Royalty when Camilla becomes Queen Consort as a number of people are very much against her and will probably make their disapproval known. As I say my feelings are not that strong that I would join them.

That's as it should be as Peartree said Camilla has been a good support for Charles . I wish them well and the Queen too.

I agree Riverwalk the timing of Palace announcements is impeccable.
I think it is good.

Pleased that the Queen has made this announcement. It settles the question and is the right thing to do. Camilla is a great support to Charles and I think she is an asset to the Royal Family.

Good news. I too like Camilla

Being the wife of a British king she was always going to be queen - talk of being princess consort was a sop to public opinion in the early days when there was much hostility.

Just as when various members of the royal family separated but announce there are no plans to divorce - they did that with Charles, Anne and Andrew. They have to break it gently to the public!

I agree Fannycornforth.
I like Camilla and she is a good support for Prince Charles.

Good. Seems sensible to me.

I’ve been listening to this being discussed on LBC, and there are some rather strange people with some rather strange opinions about this.

Thankfully, most people are more pragmatic and good hearted.
I like Camilla, she seems like a good egg

Well that is settled. Queen Consort.
Our Queen has the final word.

Hear, hear.

I knew Camilla wouldn’t end up as ‘Princess Consort’.

Indeed

Well that is settled. Queen Consort.
Our Queen has the final word.

A very great deal better in time, not at first, but no pension! If I had stayed in the public sector amongst colleagues doing the minimum to get by and waiting for their pensions (I kid you not, where I worked they were all like that) I would have gone mad.

I don’t agree adaunas. I put the proper amount of effort into my work in the public sector but there was so much more work to be done, tighter deadlines, so much pressure and much longer hours in the private sector.

But presumably paid much better.

Do they seem reluctant to you?

This recently from the Independent Newspaper

Republic has lodged a formal complaint with the Metropolitan Police over its handling of cash for honours allegations, accusing the force of an “unacceptable” lack of action.

In September, Graham Smith reported both the Prince of Wales and his former most trusted aide Michael Fawcett to Scotland Yard on suspicion of breaching the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925.

Haven't heard anything yet.

The Metropolitan Police seem reluctant to investigate those in power, the royals in particular. They claim to work without fear or favour but that doesn't appear to be the case

So the rich and powerful and the Royals are safe with the Met police.

Ex-royal valet Mr Fawcett is accused of promising to help secure a knighthood and British citizenship for a Saudi billionaire donor.

Mr Fawcett stepped down as chief executive of Charles’ charitable organisation The Prince’s Foundation after a string of allegations.

Mr Smith said: “The Metropolitan Police seem reluctant to investigate those in power, the royals in particular.

Wonder why The Met Police won't investigate without fear or favour?

Thanks Lucca.

I neither like nor dislike the Queen. She’s a product of her generation, and her upbringing. I also think that whatever work the Queen does, it hasn’t got anything to do with Scottish independence. I believe she doesn’t work hard, and nor should she have to at her age. Having said that, I don’t believe any of the royal family work hard. Are they diligent in their duties, yes, I believe they are, but they do not work hard.

Spot on Maddyone.

I don't know the queen, I've never met her and don't really want to, either. No idea what she is like. Could be a nice woman, could be nasty, who knows? I guess that goes for most of the RF though some seem to come across better than others.
