Camilla to be crowned.

rubysong

It's worth remembering that Harry said he 'loved Camilla to bits' and she wasn't 'a wicked stepmother'. What has happened since he said that and which version should we believe?

I take everything that comes out of the mouth of Harry or his wife as unlikely to be true. In particular we want a private life. I’m not even a monarchist, but I think Harry has disrespected his country, my country, so I’m not a fan. Please don’t pile on me and call me a hater, I’m simply stating my legitimate opinion. As regards Camilla, whatever she did in the past, it’s long gone, so let’s get on with living in the present and not the past. As I said, I’m not really a monarchist, but as we’ve got one, which we have, she should be crowned alongside her husband.

Shock, horror, she had sex before marriage, unlike Diana who
for some reason knew she had to keep herself tidy, wonder why

The reality about having a monarchy is that we have no say in who becomes King or Queen. Apparently this is a good thing because if it was left to the great British public we would make bad choices. However, my monarchist friend has no time for Charles and doesn't want him as King. She is in a real pickle. I don't care what Camilla is called as I won't be pledging allegiance to either of them. It is such a sexist tradition anyway and needs to be amended. At least Charlotte is being spared the humiliation of being pushed down the order of importance in favour of her younger brother. Anne just had to suck it up.

Palace to quietly drop Consort from Queen Camilla’s title
Royal aides expected to read the public appetite for new moniker in time for the coronation next year

I always thought that one reason Camilla was not considered suitable as a wife for the future king was that she had a ‘past’, i.e. she had slept with other men.

The fact that Charles had probably been ‘sowing his wild oats’, as advised by Earl Mountbatten, for years is ok though.

It’s all laughable nowadays, how these things mattered 40 odd years ago.

Contrast to Harry and Meghan, divorced, openly living together at Nottingham Cottage, allowed to stay together with the Queen before they were married…..

If then was now, I think Charles and Camilla would have married in the first place in their 20’s, would have had their own children and hopefully it would have been ‘happy ever after’.

Ah well, we will never know.

A lovely story Daftbag, but you omitted the ending;

‘And they all lived happily ever after’.

?

I think Camilla has sufficiently "redeemed" herself from her role as the "other woman" in Charles and Diana's marriage -- and if the Queen desired Camilla to be Queen Consort, then crown her and get on with it. She and Charles actually preceded Diana and Charles, and this human narrative was painful for all -- not the least of which are William and Harry. Life is messy, even for the Royals.

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.

William and Mary were joint monarchs. The first and last. So William was a King Regnant not Consort. All wives of Kings are Queens Consort as opposed to Queens Regnant ( ruling in their own right) but are referred to as Queen so and so.

Oh dear, I give up! More heresay . It's high!y unlikely that Charles spent the night before his wedding at the home of Camilla. ,But it makes an ooh aaah story and I'm sure Netflix will report this event,so it must be true! People find it hard to forgive? It's over 40 years ago, lots of people weren't even born then or were very young children and simply don't care!

Very true Jaberwok, but maybe none of those refusing to forgive have ever done anything wrong. Spec and beam.

Seventeen years ago he was 21.

Anniebach

They have been married 17 years, Harry left 2 years ago

well he could hardly have left while a child could he!

wait for his book, we'll see what he thinks of camilla then

How about Change .com?

….Daftbag. Pls rewrite story how it truly unfolded ??

Wow, that's an idea GG13. together with Princess Anne and maybe Sophie Wessex. A dream team?!!

Is there anyway that the Queen Consort can be side stepped to takeover as PM?

She would be 100% more effective than the present one.

Yes I whole heartedly agree. She should not be crowned. I would not be surprised if she is a big part of why Harry left the country as well.

Camilla has never been off the scene. She was around before, during and after Charles's marriage, the 'third person' in the marriage. Even spent the night with Charles before his wedding to Diana, apparently. Many people find that hard to forgive. Is this why the coronation will be slimmed down? I don't think we'll see the crowds turning out as in the past, but then people are fickle.

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.

I agree!

Wives of kings are crowned Queen Consort. Husbands of queens are not crowned. Its as simple as that.

I agree with Volver the world has got other things to worry about! She should not be crowned!

Camilla will be queen consort. Can't see the need for her to be crowned. Bit of a waste. Too much else to worry about. She is being flaunted in our faces... Guess it's a reward for being a mistress!!

I do not feel she should be crowned, I feel that she married into Royalty but although she will support King Charles she does not automatically become royalty.
