Camilla will be crowned Queen Consort when Charles becomes King, it has been confirmed for the first time.
The Queen assured the Duchess of Cornwall's future status in an historic Platinum Jubilee statement issued late last night, ending years of uncertainty over the issue.
In her surprise announcement, Her Majesty declared it was her 'sincere wish' for her daughter-in-law to be fully acknowledged when Charles succeeds her.
The Queen issued the message, shoring up her support for her heir and his wife, as she today marks a milestone 70 years on the Throne.
The statement also quashed speculation that the 95-year-old Monarch might abdicate, as she reiterated her Coronation pledge. She told her subjects 'my life will always be devoted to your service' – and that she would continue to honour that 'with all my heart'.
In her message to the nation – signed 'Your Servant, Elizabeth R' – the Queen said: 'When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.'
Charles and Camilla were 'touched and honoured' by the Queen's gesture, Clarence House said.
The prince will make his own public declaration on Sunday celebrating his mother's Jubilee.
A spokesman for the couple said: 'The Prince of Wales will be issuing a statement of congratulation to the Queen on Accession Day. He and the Duchess of Cornwall are touched and honoured by Her Majesty's words.'

WOW!! The homewrecker becomes 👸 ... I guess it pays to be evil.
Heartbreak.
None of our business. This is for the Brits to decide.
You know, I think I am kinda glad. Queen Elizabeth is a class act and we all know Price Charles is kind of a dim bulb, but Camelia has been treated kinda shabby by the British Press for the last 25 years or so. So yeah, I am glad.
I’m glad that got clarified. I can finally sleep peacefully.

Well, look at Anne Boleyn. Then she lost her head for not producing the male heir to the throne she promised Henry VIII. Camilla won’t have that problem.
Creepies
Nie mój cyrk, nie moje malpy.
“Camilla will be crowned Queen Consort when Charles becomes King”
Who cares?
If Chuck is king game over. No class and too political.
Tak jest!
So you can’t have an opinion unless you’re British?
Free speech still exists in this country comrade
The Brits actually like her and the Queen realizes that. Now Meghan is another thing.
They make their ho queen. We make our ho VP.
Yeah, who cares? George Washington would think Americans were nuts for giving a rat’s butt about the phony monarchy.
Biden called and farted his approval.
OK, she’s a consort, what were the other options?
Yep! The “other woman” will be crowned. Go figure.
