Camilla to be crowned.

Waste of time this discussion when the UK is in such a mess caused by Truss and Kwarteng.

I like our Queen Consort Camilla.

She stays quietly in the background supporting the King and carrying out many many visits to the charities she has been patron of for years, some before she married the present King. She doesn’t court publicity.

I have absolutely no problem with her being crowned as such.

You do not choose the monarch, nor do you choose their consort. I a monarch is crowned their legal spouse should be crowned alongside them. Their contribution to the exercise of monarchy is almost as onerous as being monarch.

The personalities of the people filling these roles is irrelevant.

You do not need tobe a monarchist to know how the system works. It has worked that way for centuries.

My first reaction is to laugh. It's all so ridiculous.

I think Camilla has proved her worth,, and is a great comfort and support to King Charles. I've grown to like and respect her a lot. And I am happy that she is to be crowned.

Come on, move on.

According to a royal commentator on Jeremy Vine this morning ,she doesn’t understand why the word consort is being used and that Camilla will be the “Queen”

Growstuff, one simply can’t request others to forget someone to make a point more valid.

Camilla to my knowledge will be Queen Consort she can’t be Queen she is not a reigning monarch

What is the “Diana malarkey”?

But should a posh woman have a fancy hat?

A crown is a bit different to a fancy hat.

Silly statement.

Why the cerfuffle about being Consort , ? And why was the Queens mother not known as Consort , she wasn’t a reigning monarch either ?

Elizabeth, the Queen mother, was always known as 'Queen Elizabeth'. Camilla, Queen Consort, will - and should - be known as Queen Camilla. In the 20th Century, Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary were also Queens Consort. As far as I know, the last consort to be crowned King, was William of Orange whose wife, Queen Mary, was the heir to the throne.

I never really took to Camilla although anyone can see she’s been good for Charles but I really don’t get her how she can be crowned she isn’t The Queen she’s a consort like Prince Phillip he wasn’t crowned.

I think Camilla deserves a crown for cheering a chivvying Prince Charles along. He can be petulant and has been spoiled and deferred to all his life (well apart from Gordonstoun) by courtiers and sycophants. I think it helps that he was besotted with her and she’s a year older and more of the real world. She smooths over his fractious temper but in private probably doesn’t put up with his nonsense. I bet she’s glad she kept her huge bolt hole to escape to now and again. Probably kicks off her shoes, no staff around and heaves a sigh of relief as she pours herself a G&T.

I read once, years ago, that the late Queen Mother liked the finer things in life a little too much. Hence her alarming overdraft that her daughter, HM the Queen, paid off. The QM spoiled Charles and instilled in him ‘having the best in everything’. He does rather enjoy the finer things in life.

His mother though, with her Tupperware containers at the breakfast table was less extravagant. More frugal really. Charles is cut from the same cloth as his grandmother!

Why have a coronation?

*Growstuff*, one simply can’t request others to forget someone to make a point more valid.

Not asking anybody to forget anything or make anything "more valid". I don't understand the fuss about something which happened 25 years ago. I would have hoped we're all adult enough to have moved on.

Historically a man marrying a woman who was Queen in her own right became the King (and tended to take over from his wife)
Not in this country.
The only royal spouse to be accorded the title of King was William 111, husband of Mary Stuart, at the invitation of Parliament and as a descendant of Charles1 ; Philip of Spain, husband of Mary Tudor was King of Spain, not of England, and the husbands of Matilda, Anne, Victoria and Elizabeth were Dukes and/or Princes in their own right but never Kings.

Oh for goodness sake what does it matter. She is Queen Consort whether you like it or not and Queen's get a coronation.

For the record I like her and what she has done for our king is inestimable.

King - oops sorry Your Majesty.

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was crowned alongside her husband King George VI.
I'm sure that after the coronation Camilla will be known as Queen Camilla and not Camilla Queen Consort which is a bit long winded.

I agree, can the country really afford the Coronation? Is it appropriate at this time of austerity? It is an archaic institution that we should be looking to cut down to the minimum. Camilla has got her man. let's wait and see how she copes.

25 years is a helluva long time to bear a grudge about a person you don't know from Adam, based on information provided third hand by the notoriously untrustworthy tabloid press.

Camilla must REALLY love Charles to have put up with everything she's tolerated over the years. Now she has to take this job on at a time in her life when most of us can relax. If I were her I'd wish I'd stayed happily single in my country house in Wiltshire and could spend my days wafting about with a terrier and a trug full of bulbs.

She’s his wife end of.
