The royal family has updated Camilla’s title on its website ahead of her coronation. Previously known as the ‘Queen Consort’, she will now be known simply as the ‘Queen’.
Camilla’s future title was previously unclear, as she was not called a princess due to Charles’s divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in 1997.
Experts at the time branded Elizabeth’s message ‘extraordinary’ and said it showed her determination to ‘future-proof’ a monarchy spent 70 years serving.Camilla is currently on her way to Westminster Abbey to be crowned Camilla is not a monarch and is instead a queen consortThey have no ruling power as they are not blood relatives, and their role is merely to provide support to the monarch.
The queen consort title is given to wives of ruling kings, but in this country the husbands of ruling queens are known as prince consorts rather than kings. This is because the title of queen is generally considered to be lower in rank than king, which can only ever refer to a reigning monarch. But ‘queen’ can refer either to either a female monarch, or the wife of the king.The historic Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla will take place in Westminster Abbey today .
