Kate and Camila and the others generally "borrowed" from the queen. Will they be Charles's to lend out or Camilla's?[/quote]

The country owns them not the family.[/quote]

Some of the jewels are the Queen’s personal property, and I assume will be dispensed according to her will. Many of the jewels, including the “Crown Jewels,” belong to the Crown, so they will be under Charles’s control. [/quote]

No they don't get dispensed, they get kept in a line - so Camilla can wear them and then Kate.[/quote]

Interesting - so the Queen doesn't will any of them specifically? Does she have personal property/items she can pass through a will? [/quote]
She can will her personal jewels as she pleases. The pieces that belong to the Crown stay in the vault.[/quote]

Yep :) so Camilla will have first pick and will probably reserve a few for her personal exclusive use (which she already has but may start wearing ones that were reserved for QEII only). Catherine will either get second pick or Charles/Camilla will loan specific ones out to her.[/quote]

It’s so disrespectful calling the late Queen Elizabeth II by the name of a ship, the QEII. Please stop.[/quote]

Sorry. Didn’t mean to disrespect. I was going to say the Queen before I realized I’d be talking about a different person :( I personally wish the press would stop calling Catherine Kate Middleton eleven years after her marriage so I get it…[/quote]

Why are we supposed to call Kate Catherine?

[/quote]

Well technically we shouldn't call her either. We should call her HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and I guess soon to be HRH The Princess of Wales. [/quote]

lol nobody’s ever calling Kate all of that. [/quote]

Yea I get it. Nobody’s going to be calling the the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge (her new title). I want Charles to invest them ASAP as Prince and Princess of Wales so we can call her Princess Catherine or Princess Kate and be done with it (yes, I know that’s technically incorrect but we did it with Princess Diana and we can do it with Kate).[/quote]

Its not incorrect if she's GIVEN the title, which she will be (and Diana was.) The only thing that's incorrect is that she did not automatically become Princess Catherine upon her marriage. Unless she is bestowed the title, she would just be Princess William, which sounds weird to us because no one modern actually does this and instead uses their Duchess/Countess title given by the Queen. There is an older wife though Princess Michael of Kent and she uses it because she was not given a different title. [/quote]

Huh? No, that’s not what I meant. The title Diana had and the title Catherine will get is The Princess of Wales. No name. But everyone called her Princess Diana anyway, even though that was wrong. Same with Duchess Meghan or Duchess Kate. Again, that’s wrong. No name. It’s “The Duchess of Sussex” and “The Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.” The “The” gets removed and the name gets added in if they were to divorce (Diana became “Diana, Princess of Wales” - no “the,” add in the name).[/quote]

I don't think anyone is going to start referring to her as Princess Catherine. The press either use the super informal "Kate Middleton" or "Catherine Middleton" (both obviously irreverent and also incorrect) or they will use her title/style HRH The Duches of Cornwall and Cambridge (until this is formally changed to HRH The Princess of Wales.)[/quote]

I think they’re going to start calling her Princess Catherine when she becomes Princess of Wales. Just my opinion though.[/quote]
