QUEEN CAMILLA? WILL THE [divorcée] DUCHESS OF CORNWELL EVER BE CALLED THE “QUEEN OF ENGLAND?”
Prince Charles, when asked if his second wife would take the title of Queen when he takes the thrown said this, according to Associated Press:
NBC’s Brian Williams asked the 62-year-old heir to the throne if Camilla would become “Queen of England, if and when you become the monarch.” Charles hesitated as he replied “That’s, well … We’ll see won’t we? That could be.”
That could be? Why didn’t he say “yes, of course she will?” Camilla also seems uncomfortable with the idea of being called queen. Whether that is because some in Britain still see her as a “royal home wrecker” or because she is simply shy, is unclear. But she has been toying with the title of “Princess consort” instead of the traditional “Queen consort” if and when her husband is coronated. (As it stands, she is Duchess of Cornwall rather than Princess of Wales – the title she would normally take had she been Charles’ first wife, instead of his divorcée second wife.)
