Camilla to be crowned.

So she should be. She is quite obviously a huge support and help to Charles. I am not a royalist, but fair suck of the sauce bottle, she deserves a crown.

I just wonder what William and Harry really think. I’m sure they see that Camilla makes their father happy, but at the same time it must be difficult.

Without a doubt, she's the King's wife, his support.

I accept Camilla as consort but see no reason why she should be crowned.
Philip wasn’t crowned why would she be.

Why shouldn't Camilla be crowned? She's the King's wife.

Can’t work up the energy to be bothered. To me the whole coronation malarkey is an irrelevance

Hé is shameless, no surprise this is what he is insisting.

Why is he shameless?

The economy's collapsing, Putin is bombing Ukraine, climate change going to devastate the world.

But should a posh woman have a fancy hat?

Priorities, priorities...

It isn’t down to Charles. The late Queen said Camilla should be known as The Queen Consort which is the title given to The Queen Mother and she was crowned. Let’s forget all the Diana malarkey and honour a woman who works hard and has supported the Royal Family. Like any other children whose parent was divorced and widowed , I am sure that William and Harry are simply pleased that their father has found some happiness.

The Queen Mother was Queen consort, as were all the previous spouses of crowned British Kings , all had coronations

It’s an ‘add on’ part of the ceremony after the king has been crowned to acknowledge the Queen consort’s position.

She deserves it for her strength and resilience after all the crap that’s been hurled at her and possibly more to come when Harry’s Booky Wook is published.

I have given up caring when there's so much else going on.

Why is he shameless?

Quite simply my view of Charles I am not asking anyone to agree with me.

Lets forget all the Diana malarkey! Unbelievable!

I don't care that much, but I do find the attitudes towards Camilla quite disturbing.

Why would it be difficult?

Lots of adults, myself included have really good relationships with our step parents or former step parents. People manage to have successful functional relationships with people even in spite of death and trauma. I can't see how William and Harry can't be the same?

Diana died 25 years ago and she and Charles had divorced. I can't see how anyone has forgotten.

I don't care either way re Camilla having a crown btw

Every legal wife of a king at his coronation has been crowned with him. Philip wasn't, but I think that was a break from tradition. Historically a man marrying a woman who was Queen in her own right became the King (and tended to take over from his wife) and it made a movingly dramatic moment when he was the first of the peers to step forward and pay homage.

Camilla is the legal wife of King Charles. They were married after he became a widow.

Does anyone really believe that all previous royal couples were both snow-white virgins when they walked down the aisle together?

For me.
Either way ...

I think it’s what her late majesty wanted. I never like Camilla but she has been a great stay to Charles and will give him stability. I think the late Queen saw that.

As Humbertbear said, it was planned by the late Queen and so is nothing new. Why the outcry now?
Other things to think about I'm afraid.

I don't like the fact she is being crowned queen consort,
I think there will be some boos in the street by many who are not happy!

Nobody will boo. She's the King's wife. She'll be crowned. Quite normal
