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.'

--"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?

[rollo tomasi]

[Reily]

Albert nor Phillip didn’t get to be “default” kings!

[Chode]

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?

[yawningotter]

I can think of 1776 reasons not to care.

[Reily]

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.

[Chode]

my question in post#86 still stands...

[Reily]

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.

[Chode]

so the king is just another figurehead and “The Firm” is literally that and nothing more...

guess i knew that but this makes it crystal clear

[Reily]

I said the modern UK royalty are national hood ornaments so we agree1

[mountainfolk]

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.

[Chode]

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

[ridesthemiles]

KISS ENGLAND GOODBYE.

Charles couldn’t run a lemonade stand.

William needs to be King,.

[caww]

Everything a joke to her behind their backs...here she is after meeting and taking photos with Pres. Trump and our First Lady...

[caww]

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!

[Pining_4_TX]

Well, then he would think we were nuts for several other reasons. ;-)

What you suggest would carry an implication of delegitimizing and trivializing the succession - and by extension the monarchy itself.

The heir is the heir.

[Jamestown1630]

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