Camilla Parker and Prince Charles lived a tragic love story worthy of a Royal family drama: an impossible love, divorces, infidelities, and a media scandal that took them almost 30 years to overcome in order to make their love official.
Despite the fact that Charles is the heir to the crown, it is known that Camilla will never be named queen consort and this is where one of the most famous love triangles in England resurfaces once again, mainly because Diana of Wales was involved.
Since her wedding with Carlos in 2005, it was known that the greatest title to which Camilla Parker-Bowles could aspire was that of princess consort (just like Prince Phillip’s title which he received when marrying Queen Elizabeth), as opposed to queen consort, as traditionally would occur.
Why Camilla Parker-Bowles will never be Queen of England
This decision was made to calm those who believe that the figure of the first wife of Prince Charles should continue to be honored: Diana Spencer, or Princess Diana of Wales.
In fact, despite the fact that Camila had an official wedding ceremony, she has never carried the title of Princess of Wales, but instead, she uses Duchess of Cornwall in relation to the property of the Duchy of Charles.
It should not be forgotten that when a woman from a direct line reaches the throne, her partner cannot obtain the title of king, however, when a man is the one who reaches the throne, his spouse can be considered queen consort.
However, according to the Daily Star, in 2020 Carlos began to move the corresponding cables so that Camilla could be named the queen consort at the time. But the latest statement came soon after from Clarence House:
‘The intention is for the Duchess to be known as Princess Consort when the prince accedes to the throne. This was announced at the time of the marriage and there has been absolutely no change”.
The defenders and followers of the Duchess believe that the best thing for the crown would be that Camilla could occupy the title of queen consort because after the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, she occupies the eighth place of popularity among royalty and this movement It could bring new air to the royal family.
Another more neutral point of view indicates that in spite of everything, for mere technical reasons, Camilla will at the time be the queen consort, since this only implies that she is the king’s wife and that at the time Charles will have the last word, taking into account the popular opinion and the advice of the government of that moment obviously count.
Camilla is also aware that she is far from her title, her obligations will be almost the same, so she also does not consider it relevant to have the appointment of the queen. Without a doubt, this is an act of sensitivity, maturity, and solidarity with respect to the figure of the late Lady Di.
