2024 - Elizabeth II puts an end to a long suspense: she wants Camilla to be queen consort

Queen Elizabeth II has decided: on her death, when Prince Charles takes the throne, she wants his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, to become queen consort. A decision that she announced on Saturday February 5, 2022, on the eve of her platinum jubilee.

It’s the end of a long suspense on the status of Camilla Parker Bowles when Prince Charles takes the throne on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. In a message to the nation on Saturday February 5, 2022, on the eve of celebrating her platinum jubilee, the grandmother of Princes William and Harry said that Camilla is set to be queen consort when Prince Charles succeeds her to the throne. Indeed, the sovereign, aged 95, expressed her “sincere wish” than “Camilla be named queen consort“when Charles is king. At this point, only Prince Charles’ first wife, Lady Diana, had that title.

This new intervention and this revelation proves, once again, that the queen is busy preparing for the future of british royalty. Moreover, she admits thatshe holds Camilla Parker Bowles in high regard, the second wife of his eldest son. As a reminder, Prince Charles and Camilla were married in 2005, during a civil ceremony. After promoting Camilla to the Order of the Garter, the highest of the British orders of chivalry, an honor to which no other spouse of her children has been entitled, Queen Elizabeth II goes even further by doing a new favor to his daughter-in-law.
