Queen Camilla: why the royal title change matters

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

In a message to mark her Platinum Jubilee, the Queen expressed her “sincere wish” that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, will be queen consort when her husband Prince Charles ascends the throne. This is instead of the title “princess consort”, as announced when Camilla married Charles in 2005. Technically, the new king would resolve matters such as this, acting on the advice of the prime minister, but in practice, the matter is now closed.

This is the conclusion of a gradual process to bring Camilla closer to the centre of the monarchy and turn around her public reputation
