Queen Elizabeth II wants Camilla to be queen consort
Clear the way for Queen Camilla!
Queen Elizabeth II has expressed her "heartfelt wish" for Prince Charles' wife, Camille Parker Bowles, to be known as "Queen Consort" when he ascends the throne. The 95-year-old royal released a statement on the eve of the 70th anniversary of Elizabeth's accession day, known as her Platinum Jubilee.
“When, in due time, my son Charles becomes king, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you have given me; and I sincerely hope that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,” she said in the Feb. 5 statement.
When Camilla and Charles married in 2005, it was made clear that Camilla would not be using the late Princess Diana's title, Princess of Wales. Instead, the palace released a statement announcing that Camilla would be using the title HRH The Duchess of Cornwall and it was "expected" that she would achieve the title HRH The Princess Consort when Charles became king.
However, Her Majesty's statement on Saturday made it clear that she wanted "Queen Camilla" as her daughter-in-law's future title.
