Because she was married to the King. When I was at school at some point we did some sort of play/study text to do with Victoria before and after her accession( a rather complicated phase of royal history) and I have always remembered her mother being very firmly told that no, she would not become Queen Mother, she would be the Queen's Mother, as she was not the King's wife.Originally posted by vinteuil View PostComment

I shall be in a heavily laden vehicle somewhere between Munich and The Hague, on the second leg of housemoving. Probably I won’t see any indication that the event is taking place, despite the relative Germanness of Karl III.Comment

Right now it seems that some are referring to her as Queen Camilla while others call her the Queen Consort; the latter seems far more appropriate, especially given that her father-in-law was never called King Philip...Originally posted by vinteuil View PostComment

I wonder if Soho will be busier than usual after today’s royal visit?
I’ve sat in those very seats more times than I care to recall. I do hope nothing changes.Comment

It's noted that the official invitations are from Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. I dunno, I feel probably 'Queen Camilla' is the most incongruous aspect of it all. It was once speculated that Charles might take the title George VII, much as George VI was Albert or Bertie. I thought perhaps the new Queen might take Mary as her official name. Or Anne. Or Elizabeth. A number of female consorts seem to have had rather unfortunate fates.Originally posted by ahinton View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.
