The last time a Monarch was outlived by their consort was during the reign of Charles’ grandfather King George VI in 1952. Her many decades as a dowager were unprecedented in the modern era and the Queen Mother spent subsequent years as a working royal carrying out almost as many duties as she completed as a consort.Although her daughter Elizabeth II served as the Monarch, the Queen Mother was viewed by much of the British public as the matriarch of the royal family.
For example, upon marrying Charles in 2005, Camilla technically assumed the title of Princess of Wales.
