That’s Queen consort, of course, but that idea is going to take a lot of getting used to.

She seems lovely.

Sparklingbrook · 08/09/2022 18:56

We have had ages to get used to the idea.

KatherineofGaunt · 08/09/2022 18:57

No more than Charles being King. Just feels like an odd kind of change.

But I suppose we'll get used to it.

NiceTwin · 08/09/2022 18:57

Why is it going to take some getting used to? They have been married for years and it was always the plan if I remember correctly.

Hellocatshome · 08/09/2022 18:57

She is Queen Consort not the Queen and we have had ages to get used to the idea.

ParsleySageRosemary · 08/09/2022 18:57

Why?

FurAndFeathers · 08/09/2022 18:57

why the idiotic click bait title?
what do you think a queen consort actually does?

Kedece2410 · 08/09/2022 18:57

Well she's not been Parker Bowles for a long time. Don't think it'll be any stranger than getting used to King Charles. I think that'll take more getting used to

I love the work she has been doing on VAWG. I heard her on woman's hour and thought she was fantastic.

Totally, King Charles just sounds strange to me. Will take some getting used to. So used to Queen Elizabeth. Sad

I remember all the uproar years ago and people saying she should never be Queen and Camilla herself saying she would not be Queen, but that was all a long time ago now and people don't seem bothered any more. Personally I don't mind what she calls herself, but she is the wife of the King and is allowed to use that title.

It does sound very strange saying The King after 50 years (for me) of saying The Queen.

Harridan1981 · 08/09/2022 18:59

I like her

Moooooooooooooooooo · 08/09/2022 18:59

No, she’s really NOT the Queen.

Reportled · 08/09/2022 19:00

Some people on here have no fucking dignity.

disgraceful pathetic thread.

MintyGreenDreams · 08/09/2022 19:00

I like Camilla doesn't bother me

User354354 · 08/09/2022 19:01

I really like her.

MomwasCasual · 08/09/2022 19:01

It will be strange to have a Queen who isn't QE II, but that's all.

DisforDarkChocolate · 08/09/2022 19:02

She hasn't been CPB for a long time.

She seems lovely, I hope she enjoys her new role.

Athe · 08/09/2022 19:02

i genuinely don’t know the answer - why is she not Queen, and title is queen consort?

Westfacing · 08/09/2022 19:02

Like it or not she will be addressed as Her Majesty.

I think people will get used to it.

How is it disgraceful to say Camilla is now Queen Consort? It's a fact.

Pixiedust1234 · 08/09/2022 19:02

Big difference between Queen and Queen Consort. Bit like the difference between the surnames of Windsor and Parker Bowles 🙄

EspeciallyDivided · 08/09/2022 19:03

I think she is perfect for the role.

Polyethyl · 08/09/2022 19:03

You may as well have entitled this thread "Camilla Shand is now the Queen" since that used to be her name.
She's probably going to be a good Queen Consort. She served well as a Royal Duchess.
