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?

Happily Andrew is a long way down the order of succession.
As others have said, William comes after Charles and then George, Charlotte and Louis.
Legally, when Charles becomes King, his wife becomes Queen.
What I thought odd was that Victoria made Albert Prince Consort, but HMQ didn’t do the same for Philip.
Yes, Charles and Camilla seem happy a d they should been allowed to marry in their 20s.

No responsibility for himself then 3nanny6

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.

The logical answer
Is King Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall
As Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh

Philip and Albert both had their own hereditary titles as well
Camilla does not
Not Princess of Wales that will pass to Catherine
Wether logic prevails we will see

I think she is very dignified and would be a good person as the wife of the King. She won’t rock the boat and she will blend into the background.

I don't mind either way: they seem suited and love one another, and that's the main thing surely. My understanding is that she'll be called Consort or something similar.

Totally agree, this lady has has and is doing much for this country, they are a loving couple, and having met her briefly she is very gracious. I have read she will be Consort. Let him without sin and all that!

I think people think the Queen was monarchy Won't be the same with Charles and descendants Would people like a choice not hereditary? Charles did plenty of lobbying government, he will still get involved in politics laws. We have now discovered that queen had a say vetted over 1000 laws when most people believe that Head of State doesn't involve him/herself in politics.

I think Charles would have been much happier if he had married Camilla instead of Diana.

Me neither!

Diana is, in death Princess of Wales until the death of the queen when Charles becomes monarch.
William, and Catherine then become the new Prince and Princess of Wales.

EllanVannin Fri 14-May-21 13:05:27

I agree Alima.

Alima Fri 14-May-21 12:58:22

I would be fine with Camilla becoming Queen when Charles takes the throne. They appear ideally suited and as mentioned by sodapop , Sarnia and timetogo2016 it is a shame they did not marry when they were younger. Have found myself thinking today, after yet more “stuff” from PH being aired for all and sundry to hear, if Camilla had given birth to PC’s sons the younger one especially would be far less woke with all that entails. But hey, who am I to have an opinion.

eazybee Fri 14-May-21 12:48:53

As for Camilla being Queen, either crowned or consort, it wouldn't bother me now, although it did at first. Out of all the trials and tribulations, and they were guilty parties, they have come out best and seem the happiest. Life is strange , isn't it?

Mapleleaf Fri 14-May-21 12:47:31

Sorry calendargirl - I've more or less repeated what you have said - I only read the first few posts, I should have read on. ?

Redhead56 Fri 14-May-21 12:45:09

William is next in line to be king if Charles died.

eazybee Fri 14-May-21 12:44:47

No. Prince William is Charles' direct heir, followed by Prince George, then possibly Princess Charlotte, as the rules governing female inheritance have changed, then Prince Louis.

Mapleleaf Fri 14-May-21 12:43:59

I saw on either a tv article or newspaper article, that it has long been decided that she will be known officially as Princess consort rather than Queen consort in respect for Diana. I don't know how true this is though. Personally, I have no objection to her title being Queen consort, but I imagine many might feel unhappy about that.

Juno56 Fri 14-May-21 12:43:35

I don't claim to be a constitutional expert vegansrock but no it won't be Andrew, it will be William.
As far as the OP, Camilla will be Queen Consort as the wife of the King. Whether she will be publicly known as Queen Camilla is another matter, I hope she is.

jacqrose Fri 14-May-21 12:42:50

I couldn't care less what she would be called but in answer to your question vegansrock I think William would still be the next in line.

Daisend1 Fri 14-May-21 12:41:40

Like Catherine, when William becomes king. Camilla will be consort.

vegansrock Fri 14-May-21 12:34:58

I don’t really care.

Not Queen but consort would be ok
