On Tuesday they met with King Abdullah II and Queen Rania at the Al Husseiniya Palace.

Junor said of Camilla, “I don’t think titles do it for her, and the prospect of being Queen or Princess Consort, the fuss there will be at the time, the comparisons to Diana, it will be a very difficult time for her.” She thinks that Camilla will take the title of Queen rather than Princess Consort because, “Charles is so proud,” of her.
