Camilla Parker Bowles may be acting against Queen Elizabeth II’s wishes, according to the Daily Mail. Instead of taking on the title of queen consort, reports are asserting that Bowles wishes to simply be known as the queen in the future. “There’s a view in the Palace that Queen Consort is cumbersome and it might be simpler for Camilla to be known just as the Queen when the time is right,” shared an anonymous source. The publication cited Bowles’ recent decision to change the name of her charity to Queen’s Reading Room as proof. “Her Majesty is the Queen after all. Prince Philip was Prince Consort officially, but he wasn’t known as Prince Consort,” continued the source.
Given that Bowles is reportedly set to receive her new title at Charles’ coronation, the palace may be waiting until the date draws nearer for an official announcement. In the meantime, select publications have already started addressing Bowles by her new title, giving credence to this report. And while Charles hasn’t addressed the speculation, he previously supported his mother’s wishes concerning Bowles. “We are deeply conscious of the honour represented by my mother’s wish,” shared Charles in a statement (via CNBC). “As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout.”
It’s likely that King Charles will have more to say about the change when it becomes official.
