Camilla’s use of the title is not without controversy—and it was not always a sure thing.
The woman once known to the public as Camilla Parker-Bowles is now officially known as Camilla, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom. She assumed the title upon the death of her mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth II with her husband, formerly known as Prince Charles, officially becoming the King Charles III. An official statement from the Royal Family postedhas already used the title for Camilla.
But it was Queen Elizabeth II herself who apparently decided that Camilla should use her proper title. She made it official earlier this year“I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,” the late Queen wrote in part.
