CAMILLA, THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL, HAS BEEN ADVISED BY A ROYAL EXPERT TO WAIT A
"SUITABLE GAP" AFTER THE REIGN OF THE CURRENT QUEEN HAS ENDED, BEFORE MAKING AN
ANNOUNCEMENT ON HER FUTURE TITLE.

CAMILLA ‘WARMING UP FOR ROLE SHE WILL INHERIT’ SAYS PARRY



The Duchess of Cornwall faces an issue regarding her future title, as a royal
expert notes that it could be perceived as "insensitive" to be declared Queen
shortly after the passing of the current Queen Elizabeth II. Ahead of her 2005
wedding to Prince Charles, Clarence House issued a statement to say that Camilla
would be known as Princess Consort after her husband ascended to the throne, but
several recent reports suggest that she could receive the Queen title.

Speaking to the Express.co.uk, royal photographer and biographer Ian Lloyd said:
"Whether she chooses to call herself that is another matter, the only thing that
we have is that statement in 2005 that she would be Princess Consort.

"I think it would be regrettable if she wasn't Queen, the problem is calling her
the Queen immediately after the present Queen's regin has ended would be awkward
I think.

"I think that previous Queen Consort's have felt the same, if you succeed
immediately after the death of a Queen - it just seems insensitive.

"Firstly, I would wait for a suitable gap to put the announcement, say from the
moment of the coronation which would be approximately a year after Charles
succeeds to the throne , that then she would be known as Her Majesty the Queen."

He also stated his belief that a public demonstration of support from the Queen
could be beneficial in securing Camilla's future position. 

Mr Lloyd continued: "I think secondly, I think it would be very useful for the
present Queen to issue a statement saying that she values the work that Camilla
has done and that she hopes that she would succeed her as Queen.

"Not an order or instruction, nothing formal but a suggestion to put it out
there so that it's set up ready."

In 2018, the 95-year-old monarch publicly endorsed the Prince of Wales to become
the next Head of the Commonwealth, by lobbying world leaders on his behalf at
the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.


CAMILLA TO STEP IN AND HELP QUEEN DURING ABSENCE



The Duchess of Cornwall married the future king in a private ceremony at Windsor
Guildhall in April 2005.

The couple had first embarked on a relationship during the 1970s, but went on to
marry other partners. After remaining close friends for several years, they
began an extra-marital affair during the 1980s which was exposed during the
breakdown of Charles' marriage to Princess Diana. 

Following the separation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Camilla's
popularity suffered with the British public and she was frequently targeted by
the press. 

This only worsened after the tragic death of Diana in a car accident in 1997,
sparking an unprecedented level of mourning. 

In a bid to improve Camilla's reputation, Charles hired a public relations
executive to help rehabilitate her image.

The announcement from Clarence House, which stated that Camilla would take the
title of Princess Consort, was reportedly done out of respect for Diana, and
also to appease members of the public who continued to think negatively of their
relationship. 

Whilst this statement had appeared on the couple's website, it has since
disappeared. 

Prince Charles also has not ruled out the possibility of his wife becoming
Queen, telling an interviewer in 2010: "That’s, well … We’ll see won’t we? That
could be.”



In recent years, Camilla's popularity has drastically improved as she's
championed women's rights and the safety of domestic abuse victims. According to
a current YouGov poll, she is currently ranked as the 10th most popular member
of the Royal Family, ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. 

She also frequently accompanies the Queen during formal engagements, and is
believed to enjoy a warm relationship with her mother-in-law. 

After ascending to the throne in 1952, the Queen has been on the throne for over
69 years and will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee next June.
