The Queen has announced she wants Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to be known as Queen when Prince Charles becomes King.
In a statement through Sandringham House marking the 70th anniversary of her reign, the Queen said it was her “sincere wish” that Camilla has the title.
“When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me,” the 95-year-old monarch stated.
“It is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”
