So Camilla is Queen now?

[cakeorwine]

Headlines in the papers talking about what the Queen said yesterday at a reception.

I thought we had a King and a Queen Consort.

Phillip wasn't a King.

AIBU to think calling Camilla the Queen instead of the Queen Consort is going too far?

Only you.

There's always someone who drags them on to an unrelated thread

I'm happy to go by the Privy Council, rather than Wiki.

RF social media use both versions (Clarence House usually with "Consort", others vary). So either is acceptable right now, and I suspect that the (unprecedented) addition of the extra word will quietly drop after the coronation

It was always, quite rightly, planned to drop consort. Camilla is the Queen and those Diana worshipers need to get over it. She seems a well rounded, supportive, stable woman. We either want a society that allows divorce, or we don't.

Quite @Maireas my friend.

Folk just don’t want to gie them peace.

One of my favourite things on MN I read was that someone ‘was a cunt for the butter’.

Some scorn the butter for froth.

Good points, @Ponoka7 .

Good grief!
I do not get it. Some people want to look for negativity when there is none to find! Crazy.

OMG wiki as prime source of all knowledge. Don’t be so silly.

Yes Camilla is Queen Consort to King Charles.

Every Queen who is married to the King is a Queen Consort (as opposed to Queen Regnant). That is her position. The title she holds is still Queen.

She is Queen Camilla, and HM The Queen. And just to answer the OP: no, it’s not ‘going too far.’🙄

Of course she’ll be known as Queen Camilla. Just as all those consorts before her, and just as Kate will (if we still have a monarchy by then). The consort bit will be dropped, and rightly so.

Camilla is a wonderful Queen and fully deserving of the title.

Fuck. THAT!!

She's no Queen in my eyes and I very much doubt I'm alone!

Meanwhile, back in the real world…

I just think it’s funny that people think their opinion matters. She absolutely is Queen. What you think really doesn’t come into it even one tiny little bit.

I don't understand "too far"?
Too far for what?
Diana is dead, let her rest. Had she lived, she would have been Queen, and no doubt there would have been world peace ✌️

'shes a cunt for the butter' was overheard in a queue in Dublin, 5wo women discussing Rachel Allen...

She's a great cook but she's a cunt for the butter'.

That was to @ArcaneWireless

I think it's absolutely hilarious. They should abolish the whole thing, but while we have it? King and Queen, King Charles and Queen Camilla - that's how it is.

@Crucible ahaha. So am I, so am I. But I eat low carb so it’s all good!

Thank you 😊@Crucible

It appealed to my inner Nan. 😈

They won't need to add anything. The Queen Mother was only called Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother because she had the same name as the Queen.

Surely the King & Queen took their roles the day after the death of Queen Elizabeth ?

I can’t say that word about my mam but she practically exists on mayonnaise. The thought goes through my head a lot crucible. 😳

Apparently that was a real problem last year when using the standard question about who the Prime Minister was.

No he became King the moment she died. That’s how Monarchy works.

It's bulkier saying Queen Consort rather than Queen!

The very moment she died.
There is never an empty throne!
