Does Carole Middleton in some way out rank Camilla as the grandma of the future king ?

[Inthesummertimewhen]

Seeing them together today ,it stuck me Camilla is not blood related to the royals and now carols blood flows through our future kings veins ? Obviously Camilla is queen and currently technically outranks her but does she in some way out rank her ??

'Quite a lot' of threads?

Technically but Camilla was always posh and was moving in the same circles as the royal family. Her granddad was a Baron I seem to remember. There will have been country houses, balls, horses, shooting parties and all that jazz in her childhood. Maybe she was a debutant.

She was, true. However, she had no title, so was a commoner.

Yes, absolutely. There will be two Queens. As you rightly say, there had to be a distinction between the two Elizabeths.

Fascinating stuff! Thanks to all the History buffs on here. Plus I now know who Jacquetta of Luxembourg was!

Which is why I started the sentence with the word ‘technically’.

There is also Catherine of Braganza, the widow of Charles II. She was not related to his successor James II.

Ridiculous. Camilla had nothing to do with Diana's death. Did she stop her wearing her seatbelt?

I think you missed the word ‘indirectly’ HTH

Even "indirectly" Camilla can't be blamed.

It was also speculated that Charles would be the last monarch or that on the death of QEII the line would 'skip' Charles and go straight to William.

After Charles I think the Crown will go straight to the Middletons. 🤣

However, it would be quite understandable if, in purely human terms, William found it a little difficult to….warm to her. To put it mildly.

Well, I ntbe olden days the AI mwa9to get your bloodline on the throne, so technically Carol has succeeded at that, daughter on the throne and then their bloodline going forward.

But of course that quite sensibly carries no weight, a fact I'm sure Carole is aware of

Why not?

They're on the same page as the royals when it comes to the littles who underwrite them.
