If you mean Camilla, then legally she will be Queen when Charles becomes King.

I think they said when he married it he had to make a compromise and that was her not receiving title of Queen.
But legally, as the wife of the King, she will be Queen. Just like she's currently the wife of the Prince of Wales which makes her The Princess of Wales. |

And she will be queen even if she uses another title. That happens a lot anyway eg Prince Edward is referred to as the Earl of Wessex. |

That's because he is the Earl of Wessex
![]() Similarly when Charles becomes King, Camilla may well go by the title 'consort' or whatever but she will also be HM Queen Camilla. |

Yes I know. My point is he is HRH Prince Edward but goes by the title Earl of Wessex (which is another one of his titles).

It's only you who says that the wife of a king has to be a Queen and that will not be the case with Camilla. She will have a title like Princess Consort Camilla or Camilla the princess consort and that is and will be how she is addressed. The word Queen will not be used as she won't be queen. |

He's a Royal Prince, but his Earldom is what gives him his title - which is why William is now primarily referred to "Duke of Cambridge" and not just "Prince William". Quote:

Yes, I know. But the comparison with the Earl of Wessex isn't the same. The only current comparison is Camilla herself going by Duchess of Cornwall instead of Princess of Wales. |

When Charles becomes king all currency with the Queen on it will immediately cease to be legal tender. Accordingly, when the time comes, I will post details of the address you must all send all your out of date coins and notes to. These will be exchanged for new legal notes. Please allow 28 years for delivery.

Is she legally his wife? Yes. Therefore she will be queen when he becomes king. There would need to be legislation passed in order to prevent this. |

I believe that she has consented to be called Princess Consort Camilla (or similar) when Charles takes the throne so as not to upset the Diana fans. Personally, I think it's ludicrous that the wife of a King should not be referred to as Queen.
If William and Harry have accepted Camilla as their stepmother, Diana nuts should STFU and let the normal protocols take their course. |

Charles won't become king because he is married to Camilla who is a divorcee.

He'll knock 50p off the price of a pack of duchy original organic biscuits, in Waitrose, so they sell for under £10.

I can't wait to have Prince Charles on the stamps. I might post even more letters.

Sounds the same kind of thing to me. Never mind.
Prince Edward's full (senior) title is His Royal Highness The Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. In other words, "Prince" remains part of his title. Referring to him as either "Prince Edward" or "The Earl of Wessex" is an abbreviation of his title. By referring to Camilla as The Duchess of Cornwall, it is a different title altogether from The Princess of Wales, not an abbreviation. The same applies if/when Charles ascends to the throne. He will need to issue Letters Patent conferring the title Her Royal Highness The Princess Consort. She can then use that as an alternative title to a Her Majesty The Queen. |

Don't forget that the reason all coins now are decorated with the Queen is that in the early 1970s "decimalisation" was introduced, and over the next few years all of our coinage was replaced. When the Queen is succeeded, coinage bearing her image will still be legal currency so will remain in circulation along with the new monarch's coinage and notes. The same with stamps, which remain valid with time. Post boxes will still remain in use - there are post boxes with Edwardian and even Victorian crests on them.
