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

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. 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.

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.

Will never happen. Ever.

For the people saying she should step down - they have no idea how traumatic it was for her personally and Britain as a whole when King Edward VII abdicated on a freaking whim when she was 10.

Britain was shook. It was a slap in the face and all over a frivolous love affair. Having seen that and the monarchy nearly undone she would never abdicate herself.

If Charles becomes King prior to his mother's death, what will we call Queen Elizabeth?

Charles has been happily married to Camilla for almost 15 years, the same number of years he was unhappily married to Diana

If Charles dies first, Camilla will be his widow, but Diana will be nothing but his ex wife. The Royals thoroughly expunged Diana, and no grace or favor will ever be granted her, much less a title.

She still had a title at death and Diana is the only Royal still honored on the anniversary of her death date 20 years later, so I’m not sure where you’re coming from.

An kd expunged is a funny word for a woman who has yearly special exhibitions at the palaces and a statue going up in her honor at Kensington Palace on the 23rd anniversary of her death.

A statue of Diana, Princess of Wales will be erected in the grounds of Kensington Palace at the request of her sons, The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry.

Beheading, hopefully.

The Queen Mother was such because she was a prior Queen and she has the same name as her daughter - the current Queen.

Wait, so if the Queen Mother was named something other than Elizabeth, let’s say Jane, would she just have kept on being Queen Jane after Queen Elizabeth’s coronation?

Yes.

Just as Queen Sofia of Spain is still Queen Sofia instead of 'Queen Mother or Reina Madre' even though her son, Felipe, has been King Felipe IV of Spain since 2014.

Queen Mother is just something the British made up to dispel confusion with two living, relatively young, Queens who bear the same name and would frequently be seen in the company of each other.

But Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands went back to being Princess Beatrix when her son ascended to the throne and Maxima became queen.

She also abdicated as the regnant Queen - so that was a personal choice and far different from being just the wife of a King.

Diana would have been gone for decades by the time Charles finally gets his turn. Will people still care?
