Camilla if Charlie pegs it?

sick of listening to a blow by blow account of the kings prostate and some other unknown area of his anatomy that is in bother.

But it did set me thinking about the OW, Camilla. Am sure Charlie will provide for her from his personal wealth in his will, but what on earth would we be expected to call her after Charlie’s death?

I mean we cannot call her the Queen mother like Queens Liz mother, she has no biological relationship with the royals at all.

In my experience adult step children grin and bear their parents new spouse but rarely stay in touch after the parents death. You only have to look on the posts here to know that.

It would, I suppose, be up to King Willy, could be a source of amusement for none royalist folk like me,

Listening to endless royal experts waffle on about it all when it happens.

I just a thought…

I’m not a royal fan at all but it’s pretty tasteless to start a thread with such glee about the possibility of him dying.

Awful title, regardless of what you think about the royal family, and yes they probably won’t read this but other people with cancer and their families will.

His death is not just possible, it is inevitable at some point just like it is for the peasants. Whether he goes first or Camilla does is the unknown factor.

Interested in this thread?

I've always fancied being a dowager. I suspect dowagers take no Sh*t

I do hope William is nice to Camilla if/when she is a widow.

StinkyWizzleteets · 06/02/2024 19:13

I'm not a royalist but Charles and his family are human beings and deserve the respect one would accord to other human beings

I thought they were lizards

TheTecknician · 06/02/2024 19:16

Queen Middleton flows more nicely than Queen Kate. K the Q also good.

Ratfan24 · 06/02/2024 19:18

The Queen Step-Mother?

caringcarer · 06/02/2024 19:18

I think it would be Dowager Queen Camilla.

chrispychilli · 06/02/2024 19:18

I agree with the others that have said this is a really unpleasant thread and title. There will be plenty of people whose partners have cancer who may be facing the possibility that their DP will die who won't read the thread but will see the title. I think this should be taken down

Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the last widow of a king, had a new title invented for her ; ‘Queen Mother’.

In the event of Charles’ death, I assume Camilla would revert to being Duchess of Cornwall, but they may decide to make up another new title for her. Making it up as they go along is what they have always done with her, after all.

Allegedly it was because she couldn't bear to give up the title 'Queen', so the the title Queen Mother was given to her.

What a mean spirited post.

@ownedbymydog really? You think presidency would be better? I disagree.

Aye leaders born into royalty by chance and forced upon a nation is much better than someone being there by a democratic vote.

MamPadi · 06/02/2024 19:22

She'd choose something appropriate, probably still "Queen Camilla", because Kate would become "The Queen/Queen Catherine" so no confusion

Karensalright · 06/02/2024 19:23

Find it vaguely odd that royalists would visit this post given its title????

Queen Ca MIL la. Her mumsnet title for her RF posts.

If you’re not a royalist, then why do you care what they call her?

Whilst technically she'll be Dowager Queen, she'd be known as Queen Camilla in the same way as George V's wife continued to be referred to as Queen Mary or Queen Alexandra before her. The title of Queen Elizabeth's mother was an anomaly as they couldn't both be referred to as Queen Elizabeth.

What an incredibly rude thread title

Totally agree!

Karensalright · 06/02/2024 19:25

Camilla cannot choose it will be up to the new king, which is what i am musing about, to some extent. Will William respect his mother and not donate a title?

I think he will not give her a fancy name on the basis of downsizing royal privelege.

Obvs could be wrong

Look at the OP thinking how clever and amusing she is with her deliberately provocative thread and nasty comments.

@Cosycover because our recent elected leaders have just been so awesome 🙌 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I thought Catherine was more likely to 'peg it'.

keffie12 · 06/02/2024 19:27

It will be Dowager - that is what a widow is called in the RF. I don't know what William will do with her. He won't want her around

crumpet · 06/02/2024 19:27

A quick google will show that for a short period there were 3 queens all alive at the same time: Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth.

All we’re called Queen so I can’t see how it would be any different for Camilla
