Camilla-Queen Consort?

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

Well the last Queen Elizabeth, wife of King George VI was called Queen, and so were they all before her so why NOT Queen Camilla?

I don’t know.
I thought that I did, but I don’t.
Perhaps Penny Junor, Ingrid Steward or even Norman St John Stevas will be along shortly

Her past behaviour was deplorable. As was her husband’s. They still make me cringe. I can never unhear the Tampax remark. But she will be queen because she’s married to the King. I’m not a fan, but I hope I’m realistic. Sauce for the goose.

me neither re the 'Tampax' word. free advertising for the company... and 'washed down the lavatory'

he will not be King as far as I'm concerned never mind about her.

What was offensive about the tampax comment ?

Personally I would be fine with her being Queen Camilla but I'm not part of the Diana fanclub (I think she was damaged by her own birth family - especially her mother leaving so early in her life - long before she joined the Windsors). Charles was damaged by his bully of a father and a distant mother, and was stopped from marrying the woman he loved. He did his "duty" and married to produce heirs. I don't blame him at all for wanting to spend his life with someone he truly loves. Camilla will be a pillar of strength for him and he will need her support when he becomes King (I'm sure she has been already in all the upset that Harry has caused). So many people point fingers at Charles and Camilla - you would think they had never made mistakes themselves!! I wish people would stop judging and just get on with their own lives.

I don't think it matters to me. I can't get worked up about trivia given all the really important things happening in the UK and world.

Re the Tampax saga - anyone who listened to that only has themselves to blame. It was either a private conversation (in which case no-one else should have been listening to it) or it was people pretending to be them (in which case you were "had"). How would we all feel about private conversations with our intimate partners of the past being put on a chat line?? It was either hoax or a horribly cruel thing to do, and needs to be consigned to the dustbin where it belongs, and never brought up again.

Some believe Charles said he wanted to be a tampax

How many of us would like to see our pillow talk spread across the media? In the context in which it was said, it was entirely acceptable.

Sorry CarlyD7, I have just realised that you have said the exact same thing.

Acceding to the throne is based on primogeniture and being, preferrably, the child of a reigning monarch. There are no education, moral or other requirements for the job.

Morals are not important with Prime Ministers

You can only be 'Queen' if you have royal blood in your veins!

That is incorrect. Queen Elizabeth the mother of our current Queen did not have royal ancestry, neither did Princess Diana and she would have been Queen if shehad lived and still been married to prince Charles, neither does the Duchess of Cambridge and she will be Queen when the time comes.

*Anniebach. It all depends on the Prime Minister and the morals he chooses to ignore.

I think camilla should be queen she seems to be a very compasionate kind and mature woman she would make a better queen than diana ever would

So we are back to criticising Diana who died young and we can’t know what she would have been like in later life.
Whatever her faults don’t tell me Diana was not compassionate

I wonder if we’ll ever have a same sex King and Queen?

Lucca i didnt say diana wasnt compassionate but she did have lots of mental health probs that were not all caused by charles

Let Diana rest in peace...

I think she should be, if the Princes' have accepted her who are we to argue?

Why not wait until he gets there?

Camilla should be Queen when the time comes. Her and Price Charles seem very happy together. A pity that the strict royal protocols about marriage partners denied them the opportunity to become husband and wife when they were young.

Yep! Denied all because she'd been round the block a few times, what a farce! Glad all those Victorian old farts are long dead!

I always thought Diana needy and her compassion was born out of a need to be seen as a champion of the weak, somehow a guardian angel of the sort she never had. Not saying she didn't care, just that the underlying motivation was not as everyone thought. She was well damaged from a very early age and a disaster waiting to happen, so very sad that her upbringing was so warped by traditional formulae ,greed, self centred lust and total lack of love. Camilla is made of stronger stuff but should still harbour guilt at her thoughtless behaviour.

I think that once the Queen dies and Charles is King things will be very different and it may be a very different monarchy much more like other European ones. It has been the style of the past two monarchs that has defined pageant as we know it.

I have no respect for Camella or Charles. Between them they ruined a young girls life, caused her mental health problems and Charles used her for a brood mare.
Queen of Oars I would call her. Despicable person and so is he.
Sorry if this offends some people but this is how I feel, and so do many others that I know.

I think it should be Queen, as the late Queen Mother had the same title, there isnt any difference really. Camilla has been doing a great job and has become more popular recently, so why not, I am not bothered either way, what will be will be.
