well its not a big deal is it? It will have to pass muster with the Govt but I can't see why they should not agree that Camilla will be titled Queen. its not on the lines of changing the succession, which would involve major legislation. If Charles had said that he wanted to do that, he would have to go to the Govt and legislation would have to be passed and the odds are that the Govt would NOT be agreeable to such a thing. but for his wife to have the same title as any woman who marries a husband, ie to use her husband's rank, is hardly controversial.
But they were a bit unsure how it would work out with the public and they had to cover all their bases so they made a vague "intention" for the future, not a promise and they stated that she'd be known as Duchess of Cornwall, not Princess of W in deference to Diana. which IMO was an acceptable compromise.
Yes obviously they would have preferred it if Camilla's title could have been settled as "she will be queen" at the time of the marriage.Actually there never was a promise. At the time of the marriage it was stated that "it is the intention... " about the Princess Consort title.
She has all the earmarks of a Queen Consort in my book.
