However her title is Queen Camilla, not Queen Consort Camilla. its like Philip, The Prince Consort, but Prince Philip. Apart from Empress Matilda, Mary, Elizabeth, Mary Ii, Ann, Victoria and Elizabeth II ( who were all Queens Regnant ) we don’t refer to historic Queens Consort as Queen Consort Alexandra, or Mary or Elizabeth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but better than here where Douglas Council staff got the week off- for security, obviously- and the rest of us just had to deal with the traffic chaos and the inconvenience.

So she's not THE Queen, in the same way Philip was not THE Prince. Whereas Charles is THE King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s you that’s introducing the word THE. King & Queen is correct. King and Queen Consort is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
