Personally I wouldn’t crown her , after all Philip wasn’t and she’s not queen but Queen consort. However I think there are more important issues in our country at the moment the way things are going we are doomed!

I am inclined to agree - as a general principle regarding wives of office holders. I don't really feel happy when spouses are trotted out as if they are part of, for example, a prime minister. Spouses should be free to follow their own separate paths, and just accompany their elected or crowned partners on private or socially oriented outings.

As for William and Harry complaining about being damaged by walking behind their mother's coffin, I bet they'd (or Harry would at least) be complaining about NOT having the opportunity to do so if they hadn't. Young adults these days do love parent-blaming - very much encouraged by the educational system who always assume the parents are doing something wrong if a child has problems - even though kids spend a large portion of their lives in the care of teachers!

They can wear as many silly hats and costumes as they like as long as they pay for it. I object to having to chip in from my meagre income for their upkeep and extravagant theatrical events.

Quite simply, this was our late Queen's wish that Camilla should be crowned as Queen Consort, and there is no doubt that she is a strong and reliable support to the King. As for the late Princess Diana, the whole sad tragedy, as has been said, was 25 years ago and life carries on. We move forward

I was dead set against Camila back in the day; but they were in love, whereas Charles and Diana were more of an arranged marriage. I'm sure we all loved Diana, she was a great lady and went through a lot of suffering, especially during the latter stages of her marriage to Charles.

Still Camilla and Charles were in love virtually from the outset, but he put his duty before his love, so I have to forgive him for that. As for Camilla, I still don't like her, but she has given her husband all the support he's needed throughout his life since.

With respect to the question posed, I don't care either way. If it makes Charles happy, then why not.; though I think he should pay for the privilege out of his own earnings from the vast estates he owns.

As others, I'm not a Royalist and would be happy to see the firm cut down in size; that said, they do perform a duty to the nation, and we have in the past been better for it; though I'm not so sure about the future.

I'm sure, sometime in the future; whether it be in our lifetimes, or our future offspring, the monarchy will come to an end as all monarchy's do in the end.

Before anyone says how unpatriotic I am, I'll let you know I served in the army, stood in a Queens parade and have fond memories of serving my country.

I’m Spartacus!

No, I don't think she should be crowned.

Who said Camilla helped to choose Diana ?

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

Our late queen's mother was crowned as Queen, alongside George V1 so why wouldn't Camilla? I agree it's a dated concept but even so, it's the way it's always been done.

Camilla seems to be very down to earth and is probably hating all this controversy. I bet she'd rather quietly do some good works or go to a Horse Show than a coronation, but to support the man she loves she is stuck in this invidious position!
If I were Prince Charles, I would commission a brand new, modern and understated coronet for the love of his life to be crowned with, perhaps utilising some of the jewels from family pieces that have some special meaning to him, together with a jewel/s of her choice to make is hers alone.
A modern piece for a more modern woman.
The Koh i Nor diamond should then be held in trust until the countries who are laying claim to it sort themselves out so that we know who to give it to - and then it should be duly handed over. The Royal family have plenty of other jewels, they don't need this one if it is not willingly bestowed.

I have every respect for the RF.I think they do a brilliant job warts and all, and for certain we would be the poorer without them.

No she should not .. she is an adulterous woman who helped choose Diana thinking she was a week young thing, who wouldn’t notice what was going on ..
People are easily swayed and have short memories head of the Church of England complete p take ….

Exactly Coco51, Prince Philip was offered the title of Consort and refused it. Why is it people cannot seem to understand that the wife of a reigning King is a Queen and crowned as such,but the husband of a reigning Queen is never in history, (apart from William and Mary) been crowned king. If people read some history they will find out why. There have been eight reigning Queens since 1066, starting with Matilda, through to her late Majesty. Their husbands were not Kings.

The Duke of Windsor abdicated in order to marry Mrs Simpson.
Those were the days when royalty adhered to different standards.
We have lost so much, I don't know anyone with respect for the Royal family since the Queen died.
It seems to be the end of an era.

Why did Diana say - she had to keep herself tidy,

Yes she should definitely be crowned. I loved Diana but time moves on and it's clear to see King Charles loves this lady and she has supported him constantly.

Normal for any sons to be reminded of their mum during such and other milestones. Their continued 'issues and acute pain' - particularly Harry's are created and fed obsessively by the very Diana loyalists who claim to care about them: 'he lost his mother at a young age, he was made to walk behind his mother's coffin', on and on it goes. Let the boys continue to heal and their mother RIP. Please.
And Camilla is the King's wife. Tradition & the constitution allow her coronation surely....

Personally I wouldn’t crown her , after all Philip wasn’t and she’s not queen but Queen consort. However I think there are more important issues in our country at the moment the way things are going we are doomed!

I like Camilla and don't think she was responsible for Charles's marriage. Only Charles was responsible for his marriage. It would not have broken up unless he decided he was going to let it happen (or if Diana herself had made that decision)

I actually blame Diana's own family for her unhappiness. Every one of them knew Charles' interests lay elsewhere, and even Diana herself did. But she was only 19 and wasn't yet wise enough to know she couldn't change Charles. The Spencer family were desperate to get their descendants on the throne that they perceived themselves as having a right to for historical reasons, and when daughter #1 couldn't get Charles to marry her, they tried another of their girls. I knew as soon as their engagement was announced that there was misery ahead.

As for Camilla, I believe she actually felt more strongly for Andrew Parker Bowles at the time, and when he finally decided he would marry her after all, she leapt at the chance and it happened while Charles was away in the Navy.

Anyway I wish them all the best - I feel I have much more in common with Charles and Camilla than I did with Philip and Elizabeth.

I suppose it’s logical that she should be crowned, but somehow I just can’t see her as royal.

Charles is an adulterer who planned for his adultery before his marriage.

Diana too! Numerous affairs with married men - before divorce and after. Charles had one - the love of his life. If he had been allowed to marry Camilla from the start there would have been no divorce

She’s not going to be queen and I don’t think she should be crowned. Apart from that I cannot stand either of them after what happened to Diana. She was treated so badly.

The royal protocol - Kings’ wives become Queen Consort (such as the Queen Mother - and Diana would have been) A man marrying a Queen becomes Prince Consort, not King Consort. Prince Philip never took the title)
