Constitutional Affairs Minister Christopher Leslie implied all the way back in 2005 that it doesnвЂ™t really matter if Charles and Camilla want Camilla to become princess consort because вЂњthis is absolutely unequivocal that she automatically becomes queen when he becomes king. Still, a lot of tension and anger among a certain element of the population-so it was decided that Camilla would be styled as the Duchess of Cornwall, even though, of course, she is the Princess of Wales.вЂќ So, why princess consort and not queen consort? Apparently, this decision was made partly out of respect to Princess Diana-which is also why Camilla doesnвЂ™t use вЂњPrincess of WalesвЂќ and instead goes by вЂњDuchess of Cornwall.вЂќДЄs royal expert Marlene Koenig told Town & Country, when she married Prince Charles, вЂњCamilla was not popular or well liked, this has changed a lot since the marriage as Camilla has taken on a lot of patronages and Charles is a lot happier. This was announced at the time of the marriage and there has been absolutely no change at all.вЂќ If the new Sovereign is a Queen, her consort is not crowned or anointed at the coronation ceremony.вЂќД«ut letвЂ™s dive deeper into that вЂњunless decided otherwiseвЂќ line, shall we? вЂ™Cause, umвЂ¦ But Camilla Wants to Be вЂњPrincess ConsortвЂќ InsteadД«ack when Charles and Camilla married in 2005, the couple issued a statement saying she planned to вЂњuse the title HRH the Princess Consort when the Prince of Wales accedes to the throne.вЂќ And then in March 2020, reps for the couple reiterated this to The Times, saying, вЂњThe intention is for the duchess to be known as princess consort when the prince accedes to the throne. As the royal website puts it: вЂњUnless decided otherwise, a Queen consort is crowned with the King, in a similar but simpler ceremony. This is a super-common title for the spouse of a ruling king, and if Camilla did become queen consort, sheвЂ™d be crowned at the same time Prince Charles is crowned king. Will Charles Hilary Mantel predicts which Prince will never be king вЂItвЂ™s hard to understand the thinking behind the monarchy in the modern world,' she said. ThatвЂ™s Queen ElizabethвЂ™s mother, aka King George VIвЂ™s wife, aka the queen consort. HoweverвЂ¦ Camilla *Could* Become Queen if She Wanted To So looks like Camilla could take a leaf out of PhilipвЂ™s book and become Princess Camilla once Charles is king. In fact, the Queen had to make a whole letters patent (basically, a royal law) just to make Philip a prince of the United Kingdom, and the palace released the following statement: вЂњThe Queen has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm bearing date 22nd February, 1957, to give and grant unto His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., K.T., G.B.E., the style and titular dignity of a Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Whitehall.вЂќ He was a prince-I mean, itвЂ™s right there in the title! Why? Because, per CBS, Philip was never in line to the English throne. If you recall, Queen ElizabethвЂ™s late husband, Prince Philip, was not king. The Precedent for King/Queen Titles IsвЂ¦Complicated TodayвЂ™s edition? Will Camilla Parker Bowles, aka Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, be Queen of England once her husband, Prince Charles, becomes king? Answer: Probably notвЂ¦but also maybe? ItвЂ™s honestly a whole thing, so letвЂ™s break it down. The Prince of Wales has long favoured a slimmed-down monarchy, originally modelled around a tight core of seven people that was previously the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry.Time to grab a strong cup of tea and dive into the complicated, slightly unhinged, and ALWAYS dramatic world of royal titles. Royal insiders suggested that any changes would happen gradually, rather than being a вЂstep changeвЂ™. He reportedly believes that by reducing the number of organisations he supports, he can make a more meaningful contribution to each one. The Telegraph writes that while the Prince of Wales has followed the traditional model by carrying out more than 500 engagements each year, the Duke of Cambridge favours a more targeted approach, carrying out 220 duties in 2019. Royal sources told the Telegraph that the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, with the help of the Queen, would have to decide whether the monarchy should continue with its traditional model of thousands of engagements each year, spread between a broad base of full-time and part-time working royals, or cut down the number of engagements and patronages and use fewer members of the family to fulfil them.
