Queen Consort Camilla is no more… She should now be called Queen Camilla! An honor that will be effective as of May 6 at the time of her coronation and that of her husband, King Charles III.
Camilla Parker Bowles has indeed taken her rescape on his destiny with the British! And for good reason, it is as “Queen”, that the wife of Charles III will be called. In a month, next May 6, will be held the coronation of King Charles III and at the same time that of his wife, Queen Consort Camilla… And while on February 26 the DailyMail reported that Buckingham Palace is about to officially name Camilla, the “Queen” rather than the “Queen Consort”, the information has finally been confirmed. Royal expert Rebecca English said on Twitter: “Buckingham Palace has just confirmed that the Queen Consort will be known as Queen Camilla after the coronation“, can we read on Twitter. An honor for the second wife of Charles III, since even if the previous wives of the sovereigns had indeed abandoned the predicate “consort” to be called simply “queen”, the shortcut seemed inapplicable and even impossible for Camillabecause of his so atypical career within the royal family.
Moreover, following her marriage to Charles III, in 2005, when he was still only the Prince of Wales, Queen Consort Camilla had refused the title of Princess of Walesfar too associated with the late Lady Diana, preferring the title of Duchess of Cornwall. But everything comes at the right time to who knows how to wait! And today, after having been criticized and singled out many times, Camilla has managed to restore her image, conquer the hearts of the English and thus deserve the symbolic and prestigious title of Queen Camilla. THE DailyMail even pointed out before that Camilla’s charity, The Duchess of Cornwall’s Reading Room has already been renamed toQueen’s Reading Room, without the predicate “consort” and this even before the official coronation. Everything is clear !
