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]

She did. Camilla has been “the Queen” (not consort) for sometime now. [/quote]

No she didn't. QEII said Camilla would be queen consort in 2022 before she died (like 7 months before she died). There was a public announcement. At QEII's funeral events, Camilla was queen consort, as QEII wished. It was not until the coronation that Charles decided to drop the "consort" and the invitations to the coronation had her as just the queen. That was a decision Charles made AFTER QEII's death (which he can make and wasn't that surprising).

QEII did not "give the go ahead" on Camilla being queen and made it pretty clear that she wanted/expected Camilla to be styled as queen consort when Charles ascended to the throne. But all she could do was make her wishes known -- Philip wasn't even around to impose familial pressure to follow QEII's wishes, and Charles did as he pleased.[/quote]

It's good to be The King[/quote]

She will always officially be Queen Consort no matter what is written.

And even though Kate is called Princess, she is not. You can only be born a princess. Her official title is Princess William of Wales but usually goes by the less formal, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.[/quote]

Yeah, this is an interesting quirk of the royal rules.

To the everyday person, it seems like marrying a prince should automatically make you a princess in your own name. But in this case, your princess title is basically wife of Prince. So, Princess William vs Kate. Not unlike the formality of addressing a married couple as Mr and Mrs Husband’s name

While I know Duchess is technically less than Princess, I think being able to address her as Duchess Catherine/Kate sounds better because she isn’t the husband’s property in this title [/quote]
