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

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.

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

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 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...

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

Why is he shameless?

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

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

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

Visgir1 Wed 12-Oct-22 08:20:32

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

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.

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 was prepared to ignore the coronation, but for Charles to insist that his now wife be crowned is beyond the pale in my opinion.
I realise there are a huge number of royalists on Gransnet but do any of you agree with me that she should not be crowned?
