WHAT??????????????

It has been stated I don't know how many times she will NOT be "Queen Camilla"

If and when Charles becomes King she will be "Princess Consort"........she will NEVER be Queen.

There is a loophole in the constitutional laws. We are not sure at this stage but it seems the will be nothing to stop Camilla automatically recognized as Queen consort.

If it's King Charles some day, it likely will be Queen Camilla, too.

As though there has not been enough confusion about next month's marriage of Prince Charles to Camilla Parker Bowles, the British government announced yesterday that, contrary to previous reports, she would automatically be queen if Charles becomes king.

In a written answer to a question from a British MP, Constitutional Affairs Minister Christopher Leslie said that the marriage would not be "morganatic," a term meaning that the spouse of inferior status has no claim to the rank of the other.

Apparently she will assume the title of Queen automatically. I don't see why this has people so upset.

She won't be Queen, but she might be Best in Show.

Actually, according to British law, a woman who marries a king is the queen, but a man who marries a queen is the prince consort. This goes back to the late 1500's, when Mary and Elizabeth were heading for the throne of England. The House of Lords feared that a foreign nobleman might marry the queen, depose her, and seize control of the country. How a lack of title was supposed to prevent this is beyond me.
