The wife of King Charles III obtained a change to her title on her husband’s accession to the throne
Charles’s ascension to the throne has created a golden question for those who follow the royal family: what will be the title of camilla? This is due to several royal traditions, but, of course, possible consideration for Princess Diana, who died in 1997 in a car accident.
This is because, at first, it was understood that Camilla would be known as “princess consort”. However, the message of the deceased Queen Elizabeth II on her 70th regnal anniversary she indicated that the late monarch wanted Camilla to be known as “queen consort”. Thus, with the passing of the queen last year, Camilla won the title of hers.
However, things appear to have changed, with the coronation invite referring to her as Queen Camilla. It is believed that the withdrawal of the “consort” would serve to facilitate its use. After all, only Queen Camilla “it would be smoother”, according to royal expert Roberta Fiorito. It had always been expected that the “consort” would be abandoned and the move finally happened.
The title change came as a shock
Camilla’s title change is significant, as the Prince Philip — Queen Elizabeth’s husband of 73 years — he was never addressed as “king consort” or king. This is due to an ancient royal rule which states that a man who marries an inherited monarch is not known as a king, as that title would supersede the queen.
In 2005, to gain public support for his marriage and get Queen Elizabeth’s approval to marry Camilla, Charles allegedly promised her “I would never be queen”, points out expert Christopher Andersen. It took 17 years, but the Camilla title came after Charles “tiring your mother”, further stated. Incidentally, the new title of wife of the new king of England would have taken Princes Harry and William by surprise. “They both truly believed that out of respect for Diana, her father would keep his word and keep the title of Princess Consort.”Andersen added.
