Just 17% want Camilla as Queen, according to the article. Not exactly a clamoring amongst the people!
It's a little ridiculous, isn't it? Camilla is going to be wife of the King and I most certainly think she has proved her worth as a royal in her function as Duchess of Cornwall, why on earth should she be denied the title of Queen Consort?
If this is true, Charles has really lost the plot. Can someone explain this to me. The wife of a King is Queen, why would Charles want the government to mess around with the constitution and invent the title "Princess Consort" because it doesn't exist ?
If Camilla doesn't want to be Queen, why did she marry The Prince of Wales?

It all goes back to when there was the debate/discussion and for some argument about them getting married. Back then she was blamed for all the problems in the War of the Wales (not going to discuss that here); and part of the negative press was "divorced woman can never be Queen". So Charles said at the time, and it is still on the PoW website that she would be called Princess Consort. All this debate about the health/state of HMQ and Charles being closer to being King has started this discussion again.
According to Richard Palmer (Royal REporter at Express - reliable), a few days ago he checked with CH staff and that's what they said.
I agree with you that she married him and the job and therefore will automatically become Queen. I dont think they can pick and choose. I understand that there will be some flack as and when it happens but they will have to live with it.
Unless they do something in advance, they will be taking away her title of Queen. Richard Palmer also said that any legislation (if required) would be just naming her.
Says loud and clear to the public that she is not good enough
Unbelievable.
Morocco has a reigning King and Princess Consort - King Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma. Perhaps the British Royal Family is using their example.
If Camilla wants the title of Princess Consort, it should be legislated prior to Charles' ascension to the throne. Would she be known as HRH Princess Camilla of Great Britian? Or HRH The Princess Consort of Great Britian?
'Queen Camilla': Is Britain really ready for the Duchess of Cornwall becoming Queen one day? - Telegraph
Is Britain really ready for a 'Queen Camilla'?
Almost two decades after Diana's tragic death, it surely wouldn't be a betrayal of her memory to give the Duchess of Cornwall her own chance to secure a place in the nation's heart, writes Cathy Newman
I wonder how people would have felt if he had married some much younger model type after the divorce.
Unfortunately what she wants really doesn't matter here. As previously stated, Queen Consorts everywhere but the UK, and doesn't that look splendid!I think if the "HRH The Princess Consort" title is what they all agreed on, I think it should be granted to Camilla. I think Camilla has proved that she don't need to be recognized by the grand titles to support Charles and carry out her royal role within the Monarchy, just my opinion of course.

At a time that the eyes of the world will be on the UK and the monarchy they go ahead and score the ultimate own goal, cementing forever the impression that it is controlled by small minded, vindictive people and a gutless government and monarchy.
The coronation would be a travesty showcasing the utter meanness of spirit and humiliation of Camilla, Princess Consort and only Camilla as we are led to believe that Catherine will be William's Queen Consort.
Perhaps it is a portent that the UK is about to ditch the whole "Coronation" concept and follow their European cousins . . . maybe the King will be proclaimed, in much the same way the Danes do, by the Prime Minister from the balcony of Buckingham Palace with King Charles wearing mourning dress.
Queen consorts all around Europe and Camilla a mere Princess Consort. Man up Charles.

I already think it's ridiculous Her Royal Highness not being titled as Princess of Wales (as if the title was specially designed for Diana). Not a allowing her to be Queen will be going too far.
In every single fairy tale there is King and Queen not King and Princess Consort.I think the problem is the average person isn't very well read . We get all our news from twitter, tabloids and blogs. When the news says ' Queen Camilla '-the response is She will never be my Queen. She can't take the Place of Queen Elizabeth.. Etc. (And of course the CDC triangle )
People seem not to understand the 'queen consort ' concept-- that the queen in this instance is not a ruler and is not equal to the king.
Given this I think 'Princess Consort' is a wise move. But I agree that they shouldn't go back and forth. Duchess Kate should have the same title when the time comes.
Over a thousand of years of having Queen consorts and then suddenly have a Princess Consort.I cannot see what all the fuss is about Prince Consort was good enough for Victoria's Albert, so Princess Consort is good enough for Camilla, especially if she desires that title and others are willing for her to have it.
Instead of breaking with tradition it is harking back to one of the greatest marriages and lover affairs the British Royal family have ever seen and personally I think it's a nice little nod in the direction of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
