[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel kind of bad for Charles. He has been in the wings for 70 years. Why doesn’t Elizabeth step down already??[/quote]

It should go straight to William. It’s the best thing for the monarchy, and the country.[/quote]

Because that does not happen with the British monarchy. It's for life. One exception, obviously.

Camilla will most likely become Queen Camilla should she still be alive when Charles ascends the throne. He always wanted her to be Queen and only came up with the Princess Consort as a sop to people still angry over Diana. But it's been ages now and Britain has moved on and Diana is increasingly if not forgotten except among her passionate rabid fans. [b]Even at the time it was quietly known the Princess Consort was only a temporary promise. The reality is that even if called Princess Consort, legally Camilla would be Queen consort.[/b]

If Charles dies before his mother, then Camilla will remain HRH Duchess of Cornwall.

So? Legally she is the Princess of Wales. Full stop. But I’ve never, not once, seen her referred to by that title anywhere. State documents, magazine press pieces, introductions - it’s always Duchess of Cornwall.

Charles set the precedence here and if he didn’t want it, he shouldn’t have had a decade-long war with his first wife that left Camilla hated.[/quote]

Charles was trapped between two generations. Had he been born a generation earlier or a generation later things would have been very different. But no one was innocent here either. Diana was naive and stupid and emotionally unstable and expected too much and also deliberately manipulated the PR game to favour herself. And died because she was hanging out with a drug-addled playboy boyfriend.

At the time of Charles' engagement to Camilla, Diana was still alive and that is why the princess consort was floated to keep the frothing jaws of public opinion at bay. But those jaws are no longer there. That's why, as another poster pointed out, all references to princess consort have been removed from the royal websites. [/quote]

Diana died in 1997 while Charles and Camilla became engaged in 2005, married that same year. Diana's death put their marriage plans on hold for several years but they were not officially engaged. The Duchess of Cornwall tiled usage was an acknowledgment of how closely people associated Diana with the Princess of Wales title. I'd bet a lot that Charles will make Camilla Queen Consort when he ascends. Diana was never Queen Consort and William and Kate will take the Prince/Princess of Wales title.[/quote]
