Been discussed before, I know, but in the DT today, it seems that support for this to be the Duchess of Cornwall’s title in the fullness of time is ever more likely.

I, for one, would be pleased to see this happen. Princess Consort would be a silly title for the wife of the King.

I have never thought Charles will allow his beloved wife to hold an inferior title.

Not St Diana again please

I care strongly. I care on the moral principle that the woman who committed adultery and caused the break up of another marriage should never be give a title of respect. As for her now husband, I have zero respect for him too.
Truly the monarchy should finish with Elizabeth I.
(II in England)

I think Camilla does a lot of good work for various charities and I have a lot of respect for her. I think she should be known as Queen as was the Queen Mother.

I just think it’s all nonsense, in this day and age who honestly cares what Charles wife is called

A few GN’ers look quite interested actually.

In the 21st century really ? So what?

I read that as Jack Dee

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was simply titled Queen, no mention of consort.

Not that I care a t*t about the royals, except for Harry, who seems to me to be the only decent one in the entire family - he saw how vicious and dysfunctional "The Firm" and its establishment of courtiers etc., were and removed himself and his family from the poison.

I was of the era of Diana and thought she was treated abominably by the RF, she was thought of as just a brood mare and not a living breathing feeling woman. Charles (especially) and Camilla behaved atrociously.

However, Camilla has not put a foot wrong since she became part of the RF and has more than earnt the right to be QC. Do not envy her in the slightest !

The title commonly used is just Queen though. Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth etc.

If her title is Queen Consort, then she’ll be Queen Consort.
I was reading that Queen Victoria tried in vain to have Prince Albert crowned King Consort but failed, hence the second best title of Prince Consort.

A woman takes her status from her father, then her husband, (sad but true) therefore the King's wife is known as Queen, and can be crowned as Queen Consort but the Queen's husband is not King unless in his own right(William and Mary,)

Who gives a toss what Harry thinks? He made his choices, so he can do one!
I see no reason why Camilla shouldn't be Queen or Queen Consort, but I wish she'd change her hairstyle!!

Anniebach Sat 22-Jan-22 11:16:34

The same as a princess of Wales is not a princess, Camilla will
not be a Queen she will be Queen consort and I hope she will.

FannyCornforth Sat 22-Jan-22 11:12:46

Yammy Camilla can’t be ‘just’ Queen in the same way that Phillip wasn’t King.
She won’t be the monarch.

I think that we are all aware of the awful things that are happening in the world

Greendress Sat 22-Jan-22 11:10:44

I admire Camilla and I hope she does become Queen. Charles and Camilla are obviously very happy together and support each other and I am sure Charles will insist upon it.

Yammy Sat 22-Jan-22 11:00:37

If Queen is to be in the title then why not just Queen?
It won't affect the rest of us plebs one little bit.
Do we really care what she did all those years ago? Do we care what they get up to and do they care about what we think? I doubt it.
There are far more dangerous things in this world, Covid and the ever-growing number of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.

Sara1954 Sat 22-Jan-22 10:55:45

I like Camilla, and I hope she becomes Queen eventually, but I’m not certain she’ll be that bothered, she has Charles, a good life, I’m not sure if she’ll really mind one way or another.
Charles might though.

If she’s married to the reigning monarch then that’s what she’ll be, regardless of what anyone thinks. I couldn’t care less what they call themselves.

?

Mollygo Sat 22-Jan-22 10:46:51

Seems a sensible decision. It will probably only be used in the media for reporting.
On GN it would quickly be shortened to QCC. We’re good at that.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 22-Jan-22 10:45:11

She has done well. She should be Queen Consort when the time comes.

It used to bother me but now it doesn't, and I speak as a divorced and replaced wife. It is what it is. It seems silly that she can't be referred to as the Princess of Wales, but Harry would have an apoplectic fit.
On second thoughts.....

Kali2 Sat 22-Jan-22 10:41:34

Good.

Kate1949 Sat 22-Jan-22 10:39:03

I agree Sparkle. It's all worked out very nicely for her hasn't it?
