OK, she’s a consort, what were the other options?
“Lady in Waiting”....and waiting and waiting and waiting....rather like Charles has been doing for decades.
“OK, she’s a consort, what were the other options?”
Ho and Tramp
"Consort" simply means spouse. A Queen Consort is Queen without sharing the royal bloodline. Diana would have been Queen Consort; Kate will be Queen Consort
The other option for Camilla would have been "Princess Consort" when Charles takes the throne. Now she will be Queen.
I think she's served the Firm well since marrying Charles in 2005 --- and the people love her.
