Queen Consort is exactly right for her future role. I think Charles is much happier now he is married to Camilla and I like her no nonsense approach.

Totaly agree Sarnia.

I think she should be Queen. Such a shame they didn't marry when much younger.

Yes she should be queen Camilla, should all second wives not be allowed to take their husband’s surname? No difference

She should be queen consort as was the queen mother

Like it or not, Camilla is Charles’s wife and one day we expect him to be King, so she’s likely to be his Queen Consort. Personally, I have a lot of time for Camilla and it’s evident that she and Prince Charles are ideally suited. Her Reading Room on Instagram is a great success.

When a King marries, his wife becomes his Queen Consort. (It doesn’t work the other way round, a Queen marrying a Prince/or similar)

When Charles married Camilla, she took the title Duchess of Cornwall, he is also Duke of Cornwall, as it was felt disrespectful for her to be Princess of Wales, which she is, because of Diana. It was announced in the fullness of time, when Charles becomes King, Camilla will be known as his Princess Consort. As far as I know, that is still the case.

I for one would be perfectly happy for Camilla to be Queen Consort, as that is what she will be, whatever her official title.

I think when push comes to shove, Charles will go for that also.

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.

How will she be Queen? She is married to Charles, who will be king in the future (maybe). Prince Philip was never called the King whilst married to our Queen so there is no reason for Camilla to be Queen.

No, anything else but not Queen please.

I can think of plenty of titles for her but definitely not Queen.

Will she be the Queen or is she called something else? Prince Philip was not called the King.

I guess it’s just a title and some people will object to her role as wife of the King whatever she is called.

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?
