Queen Camilla: Will King Charles's wife drop consort title after his coronation

Questions this morning over what Camilla will be known as. Will it be Queen Camilla? Will she drop the Queen Consort title? Traditionally the wives of kings were simply known as Queen. Historically the wives of kings have always technically been Queen Consort which is different to a reigning Queen but they've still been known as Queen so it's a way that Camilla has been styled from the beginning as Queen Consort. There is a difference there. Camilla will be the first divorcee to be crowned and her journey to the throne is an unusual one. When she married Charles in 2005 the palace announced she would be known as Princess Consort. There was still a lot of negativity towards the relationship and one of the sticking points was the fact that the marriage would make her one day Queen and so the palace came up with this totally different lesser title Princess Consort in order to shut down that argument.

For last year on her platinum jubilee the late Queen Elizabeth asked for her daughter-in-law to be known as the Queen Consort and now speculation is growing as to whether she will soon drop the consort. One sign that she might her literacy project has been renamed the Queen's Reading Room. No concert there. There has still been a huge turnaround in the last 20 years and how she is perceived by the public. She's now very much accepted in her role something that would have been unthinkable two decades ago. Over there you have it Camilla has gone from being known as Princess Consort to Queen Consort which was the late Queen's sincere wish to most probably just Queen Camilla when her husband Charles is officially declared and crowned as the monarch on May 6th.
