Queen Camilla

[Oliver Hardy]

Apparently we are going to get a queen along with a king, did not think this is possible as there is only one head of state.

Aren't we all lucky!

[DeejRC]

Must admit it doesn’t massively bother me if we get a Queen or Queen Consort. Same job, one extra word in the job title.

Isn’t the King’s wife usually called “the Queen “? I’m not sure what the big deal is…..

Charlie had to wait until his mother was dead before he dropped the new "Queen" title on Camilla. That's how I read it.

So he lied to his mother as well as his ex wife.

[sociopath]

I don't care, but hopefully the coronation will mean empty roads to go for a spin.

As for royalty or not, I'd rather have the rich toffee nosed impotent bds we have, rather than the rich corrupt politicians with power, we'd end up with instead

[markymarkthree]

Quite happy with that, i really don't see a problem with it.

[Leithen]

He’s been cautious about giving her the title, not wanting a backlash. As can be seen here, it’s not an issue now.

[DocJock]

Her having the title doesn't bother me.

What does irk me is that when HRH married her there were assurances from the Royals that this would definitely not happen, to placate some of the then anti-Camilla feelings.

[Tango13]

With hindsight they should've been allowed to get married back in the day, just to avoid the relentless coverage from the daily Diana if nothing else...

[Leithen]

I suspect protocol will be emphasised to make sure she isn’t referred to as ”The Queen”.

Despite the disparity between The King’s partner = Queen, The Queen’s partner = something else, given that it’s the only way we are going to have anyone with the title for a long time, it makes sense.

This is a position that the idealist Republican mob haven’t quite accepted, because it doesn’t fit their idealogical musings. The rest of us meanwhile are cynical realists and have long since accepted the same conclusion Olly reached - that they are all aholes!
As such getting rid of a situation where we only have to worry about replacing one set of aholes for another set with a system where we have to replace two lots just isn’t going to appeal.
The nice thing about a Constitutional Monarchy is it’s a very public two fingers up to the politicians, that we don’t trust the buggers! I am happy to accept being “uncivilised” (according to the Republicans) as the price for Parliament knowing this.

[CubanPete]

She's the Kings wife. she is the Queen.

She is clearly good for him. He seems thought out and socially aware. He will always stand in his Mums shadow, but he hasn't put a foot wrong for a long time now.

[Roofless Toothless]

She should be ‘Queen’ as much as Prince Philip was ‘King’.

So far Charles has done very well, i.e., kept his mouth shut. With the much appreciated Queen Elizabeth hardly cold, this is a very insensitive move.
