Queen Elizabeth said she shouldn’t be Queen. Charles made her queen. Charles’s dad wasn’t king. Same thing. [/quote]

I believe queen Elizabeth gave the go ahead later. [/quote]

Nope. Once she died, Charles was like "I'm king, she's dead, Camilla is queen now." It's sort of the whole thing with being the monarch-- you get to do what you want.[/quote]

You’re wrong. In 2022, Elizabeth gave her blessing. This was announced on the bbc and there are plenty of other sources to find this information. [/quote]

Her blessing was for “Queen Consort”

Does that automatically confer “Queen” status upon Charles’s coronation?[/quote]

The fact that Charles decided to give her the title of Queen is what matters. [b]Elizabeth doesn't control what titles the royal family uses after she dies.[/b] She's still a queen consort in the sense that's not a queen regnant, but the title is up to Charles now, not Elizabeth.[/quote]

With this I absolutely agree - it's Charles's decision for better or worse.

My question is about the mechanics of the "Queen Consort" title granted by QEII. Does it automatically convert to "Queen" once Charles is coronated? If so, then QEII was implicitly acknowledging that she approved the use of "Queen" by assigning "Queen Consort" to Camilla. [/quote]

I'm not sure there's an answer, because historically the use of "Queen Consort" as a title is pretty rare; most British Queens have been Queens Consort, but they're just called Queen. Consort just describes the type of queen they are. Queen Elizabeth II wasn't titled "Queen Regnant," she was just Queen. Her mother wasn't titled Queen Consort, she was was just the Queen.

(The husbands of Queens Regnant is a different matter, because of the fact that king as a title traditionally outranks queen. They're typically called princes for that reason, but even Phillip wasn't titled as Prince Consort, he was just "His Royal Highness The Prince Philip."[/quote]

Interesting! Thanks for this. Think I’ve now stared at the word “Queen” so many times it’s looking weird to me[/quote]
