Camilla-Queen Consort?

What a discussion this has turned out to be, Camilla titles, Diana, Meghan and Harry.
All this talk, I hope the queen isnt reading this, she must think we are wating to get rid of her, lets hope it will be a long time before this is on the cards. Maybe it will then be William who is King and Queen Catherine beside him, Prince Charles isnt getting any younger, thats a cue for another disussion!

I absolutely agree! Charles has never looked as hale and hearty as his mother. I met him once a few years ago and he hasn’t aged well. His permanently red cheeks can’t be right, surely.

I absolutely don't want her to have a title of Queen Consort. I don't care how popular she has become. She was instrumental in the break up of the marriage which would not have been a problem at all to me if there had been no kids involved. Both her kids and Charles' have had to suffer the indignity of watching their parents behave badly in a very public way over a long period of time. I can tell you from experience that it scars you for life.

Harry was 11 and William 13 when their mother gave the Panorama interview , they must have been ribbed,

She was another man’s wife

No

Charles should abdicate in favour of William - problem solved.

Charles should abdicate in favour if William. This reminds me of the argument that pensioners should get out of the workplace to make room for the younger people.

The Queen should have abdicated when she was 65 ?

... and then there are those that argue pensioners should 'get back into the workplace' - Vince Cable, recently.

Seems like you can't win when you get old - you are either surplus to requirements on the one hand when you do work, and a drain on society when you don't.

I think Charles should be allowed his 'turn'.

Diana was told she had to go ahead with the marriage “they’d printed the t-towels and the mugs.

I've got my tin hat on already because I know my opinion won't be popular but here goes...
I'd much rather we completely ditched the monarchy altogether.
Many say they attract £millions to British businesses but in pretty sure we'd still get that without them and it would save us £millions that the family cost us every year.
Said my piece now, I'm not hiding behind the sofa, quite willing to sit and watch what happens from hereon out.

I agree with those who say Camilla should rightly be entitled to Queen Consort - personally I think she has quietly gone about supporting her husband and his family, as well as numerous charities and good causes, and has earned respect. I wouldn't be surprised if Charles wanted her to be crowned Queen but don't know if that is even an option! It is obvious Charles & Camilla make each other happy, that she is there to support her husband through whatever the future holds for them and Camilla has often been at the Queen's side for events so has a pretty good idea what may be expected of her when her husband is King. In a world with so many problems the title of our future King's wife is not high on the list of things to worry about!

Doubt Camilla gets time in her busy schedule to stick her feet up on a fancy sofa with a fancy cuppa to have a flick through Gransnet to see she now has more favourable reviews!

Harmonypuss we have that discussion quite often.
There are loads of republicans on here

Oh Harmony puss well said!

Icanhandthemback you’re right about watching their parents’ behaviour. Seeing news about your mum’s death, when she was off on a trip with Dodi rehashed time and again must have been horrific.
I don’t care whether Camilla is given Queen Consort title or not. She’ll be whatever the media decide to call her, rather than what any of us think.

harmony puss I agree. I think the monarchy contributes to the attitude “oh well they are better than us, and we know our place.” And respect for posh people whether they deserve it or not

I agree Harmonypuss well said.

Absolutely.

I’m a Royalist but agree with how the RF are slimming down The Firm.

I’m gearing up to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. Maybe we will have a special royal Cream Tea in our garden with bunting all around. ??????

I wouldn’t like to live in. Republican country.

It’s also fine that those who don’t like the RF need not join in any celebrations, that’s up to them.

I really don’t understand why some have a thing about ‘posh people ‘ and ‘class’

I’d love it to happen! She has proved her worthiness ever since she and Charles married. It’s just sad that they were not allowed to marry when young. Her children won’t mind calling Mummy, Your Maj!

Can I ask a completely off-piste question?

When did the monarch become "our Queen"? Isn't she just "the Queen"?

One might think it was an overabundance of sentiment...

Unnecessary and harsh Nicegranny
