Contrary to what was planned, the wife of King Charles III will be crowned Queen of England on May 6.
The English press assures. On May 6, Camilla will be known as “Queen” and not “Queen Consort”. This, at any rate, seems to be confirmed by the “Coronation Bible,” a version of the Bible specially published for the occasion. according to the information received from A mirror apparently referring to the coronation of “Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla”.

Usually, tradition dictates that the title of “queen consort” be given to the king’s wife. Meanwhile, “queen” is reserved for women who have inherited monarch status through their lineage, like Elizabeth II, who was crowned after the death of her father, King George VI.
A long debated title
While the titles of Queen and Queen Consort are different, however, the wife of King Charles III will certainly be called “Queen Camilla” during the King’s reign for the sake of simplicity. Just as Elizabeth II’s mother, wife of George VI, was in her day. Despite her status as queen consort, she was really known as “Queen Elizabeth”.

Camilla’s title has been the subject of countless debates in recent years. And for good reason. for a long time the British considered her close to home because she was Charles’ mistress when he was with Lady Diana. For this reason, at her marriage to then-Prince Charles in 2005, it was decided that Camilla (formerly ‘Parker Bowles’) would only bear the title of ‘Princess Consort’. The title has never before been granted in the history of the British monarchy.
A year ago, however, plans changed. On February 5, 2022, the eve of her platinum jubilee (70th year on the throne), Elizabeth II, against all odds, expressed her “sincere wish” that “when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen because she continues his faithful services.’ A strong decision, but one that doesn’t make us forget the specter of Diana still hovering over Camilla and Charles.
