Royal Family News – Camilla The Queen
After May 6 Camilla will no longer be called Queen Consort, she must be referred to as Queen Camilla. What gives? A source told The Daily Mail, “There’s a view in the Palace that Queen Consort is cumbersome, and it might be simpler for Camilla to be known just as the Queen when the time is right.”

But this might not sit right with a public that has known only one other Queen in its lifetime—Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Nonetheless outlets including The Times and The Telegraph have already dropped the word “Consort” when referring to Camilla.
The Times’ archivist Rose Wild explained, “For most of us, ‘the Queen’ has meant only one person for as long as we can remember. While we were still getting used to the idea of singing ‘God Save the King,’ there was some possibility of confusion about who ‘the Queen’ meant in our coverage of her death. This was largely resolved by the use of ‘Queen Consort’ to refer to the former Duchess of Cornwall. This wordy solution no longer seems necessary. ‘Consort’ is a description, not a title. While all previous wives of kings have been queens consort, none have been referred to as such.”

Royal Family News – Camilla’s New Name Is Regal
A source told the Daily Mail that the writing was on the wall so to speak when Camilla debuted the “Queen’s Reading Room” which was formerly titled the “Duchess of Cornwall’s Reading Room.”
The source said, “The Reading Room was a sign of that. Her Majesty is the Queen, after all. Prince Philip was Prince Consort officially, but he wasn’t known as Prince Consort. The Queen would, of course, still be Queen Consort, so the Palace of course wouldn’t stop anyone calling Her Majesty that if they so chose.”

This is a remarkable 180 for a woman who was once considered a sordid home wreaker by the UK public. When she and Prince Charles wed in 2005, “it was widely assumed she would never be called Queen when he acceded to the throne,” but look at her now. But the change may be harder for some, as Harry spilled in his memoir Spare that he and brother William did not want Charles to marry Camilla. If wishes were horses ….

You’ve got to be kidding. Queen she was an adult rest. And king Charles is no better. It should have been given to Prince William.
Prince William should be king and Kate as Queen
Why can’t Prince Harry and his little wifey just go live in their home and leave the monarchy alone. They are just trouble makers, nothing more. She’s a major trouble maker and he’s just weak and a party boy. They are never going to be anybody of importance. Herry is just the “spare”. That was the luck of his birth. She is a nobody both in America and England.
