He has got to become King first! , then he can abdicate and then......Course, if Charles were to abdicate...
Isn't it funny that the Queen and the rest of the royal family choose to refer to Camilla as the Duchess of Cornwall to emphasize that she is not a princess,
As I understand, it was Camilla's choice not to use the Princess of Wales title, however she is still The Princess of Wales...SNIPPED... Using Duchess of Cornwall instead of Princess of Wales for now was a smart and tactful move.
More than likely, as there seems to be a greater acceptance by ordinary people now. By ordinary people I mean the ones that don't spend an enormous amount of time or money taking part in polls run by some of the tabloids.By the time the Queen passes and Charles ascends the throne, enough time will have passed so the public will be more accepting.

I respectfully disagree. Had Charles married anyone other than Camilla, there most likely wouldn’t have been any hostility or drama. Especially if it was someone he met after the divorce. The hostility comes from the fact that Camilla was named as the other woman and blamed by the beloved Diana herself as a huge factor in the breakup of the marriage. Had Charles married Lady Jane Doe I don’t think there would have been any hostility. Comparisons yes, anger no. Comparisons will be inevitable for any woman that marries a man close to the throne, i.e.Kate Middleton, Chelsy Dave, or any other girl the Princes decide to marry.
Perhaps you might consider the chronology of events, sister morphine. Life does not exist in a vacuum. It is a series actions and reactions.
I think Princess Consort is appropriate for Camilla. She is his consort. She will not be a ruler. The name Queen Consort Camilla would be shortened to QUEEN and that would be inappropiate.

Queen Consort is King's consort, and a ruler Queen is a Queen Regina. That's why I always consider that these two titles are different ones. Consort and Regina are two different occupations/job descriptions.
Just like the difference between a born princess and a princess because of marrying a princess. Both use Princess as their titles, however with proper background understanding, people can tell the differences.
why would they wish to call her a princess later?
Camilla would then be, under any such legislation, officially styled and titled HRH The Princess Consort.
Whilst I believe the tabloids will use anything they can to sell papers, that is not quite what I meant.Hi Skydragon, could you explain this part for me please? Are you saying that tabloids are setting propaganda to influence people for or against Camilla as queen? And that ordinary people are coming to their own conclusions without the help of the media? Thanks... and I greatly appreciate it. And I hope my questions are not offensive because I really want to understand what you are saying. Thanks.

According to the Royal Family website, Prince Charles is Prince and Great Steward of Scotland
"The Prince's new status made him The Duke of Cornwall. He also automatically took the Scottish titles Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland."

Mind you, I can't see Camilla being stuck with "Great Stewardess..." so maybe this set of titles doesn't carry across to the wife.
Duchess of Cornwall - Title and StyleSo Camilla is not Princess of Scotland.....Snipped
Sorry Monika, I think I was disgareeing with someone else or something... It's getting a little confusing in here.I'm confused. Where do we disagree?
Camilla will be Queen, IMO. She will have the title and will be known as HM Queen Camilla. That's the way it should be.
I find it entertaining that nobody has suggested that any former wives of kings should have been called the asinine 'princess consort'.
It's almost as if they think Camilla is responsible for her death somehow.
Actually, I think the outcry would be even worse, had Diana lived. The thing is, people have fallen into this trap of worshiping Saint Diana, completely ignoring the fact that she too was screwing around; all three people involved in that whole mess were equally to blame. Unfortunately, many people view it as a Camilla vs. Diana issue--what about Charles? Why is there no vitriol for him?
Had Diana not been tragically killed, Charles and Camilla would still (I think) have gotten married, but the yammering of the hagiographers would be even louder in favour of the ridiculous 'princess consort' crap. "She was the rightful Queen!" they would yell. Except, y'know, she wasn't.
Camilla should and will be Queen. That's how it works. Any suggestion to the contrary is either pandering to the Saint Diana brigade, or is coming from a member of same.
