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

The consorts of George V and George VI were Queens. I think when Charles and Camilla got married there was such intense negative feelings towards her it was decided she would never be a Queen only Duchess of Cornwall. I think Queen Consort is fitting.

Makes no difference to my life but today we lost a legend thats for sure

QEII was the last of her kind.
Charles & his wife won't garner the same respect that Her Majesty did.

I agree, and I say this as someone who didn't respect the former queen. It's the end of an era.

@Reportled isn't that so
All around it seems many were mot taught sometimes if you have nothing nice to say its best to say nothing at all

Could never have imagined it 25 years ago, however, Charles adores her and she is also loved by Harry and William. That’s all that matters.

Harry can't stand her . . .

daisychain01 · 08/09/2022 19:30

Goady, disrespectful and inappropriate.

Indoctro · 08/09/2022 19:30

King Charles lll it's been announced is his name

harrystylesbeard · 08/09/2022 19:30

I have no issue with it at all. She actually has worked bloody hard and seems like she would be fun sharing a glass of gin with tbh

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/09/2022 19:32

King Charles III and Queen Camilla sounds perfect.

HappyHappyHermit · 08/09/2022 19:32

She's married to the King so of course she is Queen, it is just as it should be.

Some people on here have no fucking dignity.

disgraceful pathetic thread.

The irony 😂

Brideandpredjudice · 08/09/2022 19:33

Have some respect, instead of spreading lies at a time like this

plinkypots · 08/09/2022 19:33

She is his wife. She is the Queen consort. Only those who are tiny of mind will give it a second thought.

LuluBlakey1 · 08/09/2022 19:33

I think she will, eventually, be called 'the Queen'. When you see old news footage of King George VI and the Queen mum- who was Queen Consort- she was referred to as 'the Queen' not 'The Queen Consort' (it's a bit of a mouthful).

Yes they will put the king on the new coins.

Will the ears be to scale as well?

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.

Charles has been married to Camilla longer than he was married to Diana.

Goingforarun · 08/09/2022 19:38

Our Queen’s husband was a Prince.
Camilla is a consort.

Wheresmymoneytree · 08/09/2022 19:38

What a disrespectful thread. Someone has died, that person regardless of title had family and friends that loved her. Taking the opportunity to bitch about them as a result of someone’s death is disgusting.

CookieCoo · 08/09/2022 19:39

Meh. I remember driving past The Ritz in 1999 when she had her first public date with Charles, so it’s been on the cards for a long time

LoveHamble · 08/09/2022 19:29

Harry can't stand her . . .

Are you Harry?
I thought not
So how do you possibly know what he thinks

Supersimkin2 · 08/09/2022 19:41

It’s her chance to redeem
herself, and she’ll be very good at that.

IcedPurple · 08/09/2022 19:42

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think Charles will be a very good king and Camilla an excellent queen consort.

Ginger1982 · 08/09/2022 19:46

Ridiculous. She's not the queen. She and Charles are obviously very happy together. Let them get on with it.

ImWonderingwhy · 08/09/2022 19:47

I think she’s doing a great job and will make a good Queen consort.

She has done this threefold already. She will make a brilliant queen. Fun and quick witted.
