Well ... there's this
Camilla Parker Bowles Photo: WPA Pool/Getty Images As you may be aware, Queen Elizabeth is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee this year and on Saturday marked an unprecedented 70 years of queening with a special announcement. On the eve of her ascension day, she issued a contemplative statement addressing her successors: Prince Charles will take over as monarch while Camilla Parker Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall, will become queen consort.
When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, 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. Consort is the title typically assumed by royal spouses, “whose main duty is to provide support and companionship during their reign,” according to the Mirror. “Unlike the king or queen, they do not have a formal position or set tasks and responsibilities.” Per the Guardian, it basically means that Camilla will be “a Queen but not the Queen,” which would’ve been a given, only Camilla was not a very popular figure when she married Prince Charles in 2005.
The BBC reports that the duchess has since “won over a cautious public” and takes her role — as the patron of 90-plus charities — very seriously. She has been described by Charles as “jolly good” and “down to earth.” She recently roasted President Joe Biden for doing a long fart in her presence. She seems to appreciate taxidermy. And one day she will be a, if not the, queen.
