--"She saw that it was the humane thing to do"
And she moved without hesitation as an experienced huntsman.
Clearly, the right thing to do.

not versed in such, since married to Chas, why would that not make her default “queen” on the the death of “the” Queen?

they weren’t blood kings and as such were consorts
a king is allowed to Chose his queen on his own, was my impression anyway
why would that not make her defacto queen?

I can think of 1776 reasons not to care.
To: Chode
Victoria wanted Albert to be named King. Parliament made it known that they would not go along with it. Albert was not willing to make an issue of it. Victoria was but Albert was far more astute politically then Victoria. He was content will be the “persuader in Chief”. When Albert died Victoria’s reign lost a component that made it sucessful.
Regarding Phillip, I don’t think the issue ever came up. By then UK royalty were national hood ornaments and all were content with that.

I am pretty sure Parliament has to allow it. Since the Glorious Revolution of 1688 when William of Orange was invited over, Parliament decides who is King or Queen. They allowed William of Orange to be King along side Mary (Daughter of Charles II.) parliament later regretted the decision. Parliament grew to dislike William and William didn't like England. To William England was necessary to protect The Netherlands that was his only interest. Parliament and the people didn't like to be used that way.

LOL. All is well in Royalty Land. I am a big fan of Queen Elizabeth. She has served the English people well and will be remembered as a Queen in every way. Her endorsement of Camilla is a gracious and expedient measure to ease the transition to a new monarch when she is gone.
To: Reily
i’m not disagreeing with you, it was an honest question.
i thought the king, since he was “king” could actually chose his wife/defacto queen... i was wrong.
thx for explaining

KISS ENGLAND GOODBYE.
Charles couldn’t run a lemonade stand.
William needs to be King,.

Stunning that a woman who committed adultery engaging in an affair with a married man will be the next' head of the Church of England'........and I can certainly think of many names for Camilla - QueenConsort is definitely not one of them.
Britain needs to skip a generation!

To: WMarshal
What you suggest would carry an implication of delegitimizing and trivializing the succession - and by extension the monarchy itself.
The heir is the heir.

She can certainly express her desire, and I’m certain much attention is given it.
