When Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, it became known that when he ascended to the throne, she would not assume the title of queen consort, but instead would be known as the princess consort.
This was to appease those who were reluctant to the couple for their affair and, later, for the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. In fact, Camilla has never used the title of Princess of Wales, despite being able to do so, and has instead defined herself as the Duchess of Cornwall in honor of her husband’s Duchy estate.
However, last March, the Daily Star stated that Carlos was considering pushing for Camilla to become queen consort, as is traditional.
Clarence House issued a rebuttal to the statement, saying: “The duchess is intended to be known as the princess consort when the prince accedes to the throne. This was announced at the time of the marriage and there has been absolutely no change. “
Camilla’s supporters have argued that her growing importance within the family, particularly after the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as her rising popularity, ranked eighth among the most popular royalty in a YouGov poll last year. , has meant that the public would be happy for her to become queen consort.
