Camilla for Queen?

How do people feel now about Camilla becoming Queen? There have been huge changes in the Royal Family and the Queen is a very old lady now. Never personally been a fan of Camilla probably due to the fact there were 3 in my marriage as well and felt sympathy for Diana. But there is no denying the fact that Camilla and Charles are ideally suited and love one another. I think Charles and Diana would never have worked Camilla or not now with hindsight. Views?

Chardy we don’t know that, there was Barry Manakee, all we know is they both had affairs. I think it so sad but there is nothing which proves when the affairs started.

It doesn’t matter who broke their vows first surely? Adultery is adultery. Charles is unfit to be king and his previous mistress is unfit to be queen.

I don’t have time for either Charles or Camilla. They have both behaved disgracefully and deserve no respect.
Just to be clear I have a lot of respect for the Queen who has a real sense of duty and has always set a good example.

I don't think Diana's affair with James Hewitt started until after Charles and Camilla were back together again.

It is well documented that Diana had men friends (more than one). It is also documented that Prince Charles stayed the night before his wedding with Camilla. From my understanding Diana was young and shy also very naive. Diana had not had previous relationships before Charles and several top historians have said that Diana was merely the vessel for heirs to the throne. Very complimentary I must say.

it Is well documented that Diana had an affair whilst married.

Who knows Molly and do we care? If the press would stop reporting every time he opens his mouth everyone would forget about them and then they could get on with those private lives they wanted.

True ! But the press and the media are hooked on commenting on them and the rest of the RF.

I do not really care what the title will be for Camilla she can be called whatever they want to call her. It has been well documented that Charles and Camilla were having the affair whilst both married to other people. The thing is these sort of things have consequences within families many years later and even though William is well balanced and okay it' s obvious Harry isn't.
At the moment the Queen is the long standing matriarch that is holding the monarchy together and as tragic as it will be when she is no longer alive I feel that the monarchy will
start to crack and crumble and things will be very different.

On a brilliant day for Scots standing up for themselves, here’s a selection of MSPs pointing out the absurdity of having to pledge allegiance to some toffs in Buckingham palace.

Why not queen consort ? Because she had an affair, so did Diana yet Diana is thought of as a saint.

M0nica Fri 14-May-21 19:53:09

Why not? She will be married to the king and the wives of kings are called queens.

The press/media is having a heyday with all this, including saying MM and H will divorce.
I do hope that doesn’t happen, because neither of them will agree to the other having custody. MM would stay over there, but would H want to come home?

Not Queen , in any shape or form.

ElaineI Fri 14-May-21 18:55:50

Bring on the referendum hmm

vegansrock Fri 14-May-21 18:48:52

I couldn’t care less if Camilla is called Queen it’s all a load of baloney anyway If you believe in the notion of royalty then Harry is perfectly entitled to use the Prince title as that’s what he was born with and whatever he says or does he has that title as it’s all about the blood line.

Time to bring the show to an end.

I agree, he should learn when it is best to keep quiet.

maddyone Fri 14-May-21 16:14:34

Camilla should be entitled Queen Consort when Charles becomes king. I quite like what I see of Camilla now.

biglouis Fri 14-May-21 16:05:57

I feel sad that Charles did not have the balls to propose when they first went out, and stand out against all those in the family who felt Camilla was not grand enough. Instead he dithered around and she married Parker Bowles. Things would have been very different if these two had married while younger. Diana would never have happened. I liked Diana but she was totally wrong for Charles.

I would be quite happy to see Camilla as queen and have no strong feelings on the matter. According to protocol the wife of the king is automatically the queen consort.

Anniebach Fri 14-May-21 15:56:46

Harry doesn’t want to be part of the royal family but wants to
keep talking , talking, talking and using his title, hypocrite

Of course you have every right to have an opinion Alima and yours is yours.

The thing is Camilla did not give birth to Prince Charles sons as she was married to someone else and had her children to a different man. With all that went on the two of them had their relationship behind the back of Princess Diana and if that has made the youngest son of Prince Charles "woke " as you put it, then perhaps the actions of other adults haver made him that way.

Reading beyond the headlines and it sounds a lot like Harry is coming around to opposing the monarchy. It's clearly not good for the royals, it's definitely not good for Britain. Time to bring the show to an end.

He said he had been forced to “grin and bear it”, but added: “I’ve seen behind the curtain, I’ve seen the business model, I know how this operation runs and how it works. I don’t want to be part of this.

Why do so many believe Camilla married Parker Bowles because she couldn’t marry Charles ? Because we are constantly told so. They had a relationship when young as did we all, it ended, he was in the navy, she fell for Andrew.

If Charles was having an affair with Camilla when he married Diana why didn’t her sister tell her ? she had a relationship with
Charles.

Charles is Godfather to Camilla’s son, Anne had a relationship
with Parker Bowles, he is Godfather to Zara.

Charles was having an affair with Kanga Tyron not Camilla before he married Diana. Charles and Camilla were part of
a country set , they were friends, both had unhappy marriages
and had an affair.

Diana made the claims of an affair with Camilla , she also
claimed Charles was having an affair with Tiggy and Tiggy had
an abortion, the Legge Bourke’s were going to sue Diana but didn’t out of respect of the Queen.

I like Camilla, and dont mind at all of she is called Queen Camilla.
Why do some people dislike Camilla because Dianna said there are 3 in this marriage. She should not have said that, I have a son 6 months younger than William, I got divorced under similar circumstances, but would never make s statement like that. I would not want my children to think badly of there Dad. I never got the adoration of Dianna.
Whatever Camilla is called I think she is good for Charles.

I thought Philip became Prince Consort when the Queen granted him the title of Prince in 1957?

Mind you, I get all my constitutional knowledge from Google and watching The Crown.
