Queen Elizabeth II offered her support Saturday to have the Duchess of Cornwall become Queen Camilla.
NORFOLK, England -- Queen Elizabeth II offered her support Saturday to have the Duchess of Cornwall become Queen Camilla - using a special Platinum Jubilee message to make a significant decision in shaping the future of the British monarchy.
The message ties up a loose end that has hung over the House of Windsor since Charles' divorce from the popular Princess Diana. At the time of their marriage, royal aides had suggested that Camilla did not want to be called queen and"intended" to be known instead as Princess Consort - a first in British history. But the careful use of the word ''intend" led to the possibility of change later on.
The queen also paid tribute to the Duke of Edinburgh, who died last year after decades of serving as her consort, and to the work of her mother. The monarch met with members of the local community during a tea at Sandringham, her country estate in eastern England where she normally spends the anniversary. The 95-year-old queen leaned on a walking stick as she chatted with guests.
