FEATURE in 1970 and

FEATURE in 1970 and began dating. When Charles left to serve in the Navy in 1972 without asking for any commitment from Camilla, she didn’t wait. The next year, she married Andrew Parker Bowles, an aristocrat seven years her senior, who had been a page at Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 coronation and played polo with Charles when they were young. What is Queen Consort? The title essentially means the wife of a reigning King. The spouse of a King doesn’t become Queen, as the title of Queen is only used for a reigning female monarch. Instead, the wife of a monarch is given the official title of Queen Consort. Similarly, the husband of a reigning Queen does not become King. They are offered the title of Prince Consort. However, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, rejected that moniker. When Charles and Camilla married in 2005, it was stated that Camilla would take the title of Princess Consort when the time came, thought to be due to the public holding a somewhat negative perception of her (due to her alleged affair with King Charles during his marriage to Princess Diana). However, that changed when Queen Elizabeth II gave her blessing for Camilla to become Queen Consort earlier this year. The former Duchess of Cornwall will be crowned Queen Consort 38 www.glamsquadmagazine.com

FEATURE at the coronation of King Charles III. A date has not been set for the coronation yet, but it is likely to happen in 2023. She will be known as ‘Queen Camilla’ and referred to as ‘Her Majesty’. What are the duties of a Queen Consort? While the reigning King or Queen has official responsibilities relating to the government, the Queen Consort does not. As Queen Consort, Camilla’s role will be to support Charles as King, including appearing at public engagements and attending charity events. As the wife of a monarch, Camilla will also become a Counsellor of State. These are senior members of the Royal Family who can carry out duties on behalf of the King if he is unwell or overseas. What did King Charles say about Camilla in his speech? In his first address to the nation as King, the new monarch said that during this “time of change,” he would “count on the loving help” of his “darling wife.” He explained that she would become his Queen Consort “In recognition of her own loyal public service” since they married 17 years ago. He added: “I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much.” Sources: Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Wikipedia www.glamsquadmagazine.com 39
