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.”
