She clearly is already the Queen. But officially after the Coronation she will be known as the Queen, not the Queen Consort.

Yes. Because she is.
The wife of a king is known as a queen.

JackieDaws · 26/02/2023 16:54

That's fantastic. Queen Camilla sounds cool.

Zone2NorthLondon · 26/02/2023 16:54

I suppose it’s has a better ring than adulteress in chief

If she was in a relationship with the King long before he or she were married to other people, surely they both cheated on each other by marrying the OW/OM? But somehow they both got over that in the most "love conquers all" story of the last century. Maybe we, the public, who have no real personal knowledge of any of the players, should also get over it?

Will she be the last Queen of Britain though?

MarshaMelrose · 26/02/2023 16:56

Long live Queen Camilla.
Long live Queen Camilla, Queen Consort!

Yep, first one is better. 👸

Nope.

Long live Queen Catherine.

As it should be, glad KC got the woman he really wanted in the end.

Zone2NorthLondon · 26/02/2023 16:58

I’m sure all the sycophants will be along soon to praise her and effuse about her ummm qualities

DorritLittle · 26/02/2023 17:00

Honestly - who cares either way? Probably not Camilla.

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 26/02/2023 17:00

This has not been officially announced. It has come from 'sources'.

Well yes. Like all the wives of Kings before her.

I imagine you could count British monarchs who have been faithful within marriage on the fingers of one hand. Why should their spouses be held to a higher standard and be demonised?

Saint Diana herself relentlessly pursued and shagged married men. They are all human. We don’t know any of them.

She is an adulteress. But if Charles can be King and be an adulterer, why she should she not be Queen?

I’ve always wondered (and should know this as a history buff!) why is she the Queen but the D of E wasn’t the king?

I think she cares a lot. she's had a long campaign to get where she is now.

I believe the longer C&C are on the throne, the more likely monarchy is to die. Many countries have already decided either to become republic, increasing number won't have Charles in the currency , so republican movement will only increase. As will in the UK for sure, Queen was well loved, same can't be said for C&C.

King would outrank Queen.

This is so odd. Around 95% of all English Queens and Kings have been adulterers. 100% if you go to preRoman times when Briton kings and queens could have several extra husbands and wives.

Sexism.

She knows how to play the media. Kept her head down and gave them what they wanted.

She played the game and she won.

Show quote history

I know. That is because they all used to have arranged marriages rather than love marriages - it is why Charles married Diana.
Charles is reported to have said that he was not going to be the first and only Prince of Wales not to have affairs.

For balance yes they are both adulterers and I’d be happy for their both titles to contain adulterer as nomenclature

BentleyRhythmAce · 26/02/2023 17:25

Fine. She's the king's wife, why shouldn't she be?

Meh. Diana also cheated, but apparently she's a saint now and we have to forget about her indiscretions.

Because he wasn't in the line of succession and Elizabeth was. Had he been king then he, rather than the actual Queen Regnant, would have been regarded as the fount of honours and a constitutional anomaly; she'd have come second in terms of rank despite being queen in her own right.

Because historically (Mary I excepted) husbands of queens have never been given the title king. Her husband was because he was a king in his own right anyway and not to be given the title king when they married would have been a dishonour - and also because she had decided she was in love with him and he deserved all the honours that could be bestowed upon him.

William III was an anomaly because in terms of succession he ranked behind Mary II and her sister Anne; but he refused to be his wife's subject and she refused to rule without him.

Plitvice · 26/02/2023 17:29

She is a bad role model. It communicates to society that deceit and adultery pays as it leads to power, wealth and even respect.
I know that many people commit adultery these days (even in my own family) so the king is a suitable match for his subjects but couldn't they at least try to break the cycle?
