Charles: I want Camilla as Queen

(And one doesn't care what mummy thinks)

Camilla to get throne - with or without the Queen's approval
Camilla to get throne - with or without the Queen's approval

PRINCE Charles is secretly plotting to make Camilla our QUEEN, the News of the World can sensationally reveal.

The heir to the throne has held top-level meetings with his main advisors, constitutional experts and religious leaders to secure his wife the title she's desperate for.

He is likely to get his way-because it would require a change in law for her NOT to be crowned.

And he's prepared to do it with or without the Queen's approval.

The plan is a U-turn on what Charles officially announced when he married his divorced long-term lover three years ago.

It will infuriate those who believe Camilla should never be queen-because her relationship with Charles caused the breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana.

And it could stir up republican sentiment in the 15 Commonwealth states that have our Queen as head of state, including Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

A senior Royal Household source said that the increasingly regal Camilla is determined to have the top title-even though it is widely known she dislikes public duties.

Crisis

The palace aide said: "Make no mistake, this is very important to the Prince and the Duchess.

"Clarence House has previously indicated that when the Prince of Wales becomes king, Camilla intends to be known as Princess Consort. But that is not set in stone-far from it. The Prince and Duchess do not want her status undermined when he is the sovereign. And both believe the matter will be resolved in their favour.

"Remember the Prince once authorised a leak that he had no intention of marrying Mrs Parker Bowles. But everyone knew the truth-he had every intention of getting what he wanted."

The Queen is worried that making Camilla queen will harm the Royal family. But under current laws Camilla will AUTOMATICALLY get the title when Charles is made king, simply because she is his wife.

The ruling was established in 1936 during the abdication crisis involving King Edward VIII.

And Charles believes by the time the Queen dies, the public will have warmed enough towards Camilla so as to not to mind her taking the top title.

Our source said: "Charles is mindful of the Queen's views. But he knows in his own mind that his wife should be queen when he ascends to the throne."

He knows in his own mind that his wife should be queen when he ascends to the throne

It is understood there have been at least THREE secret high-level meetings to smooth the way for Camilla to be queen.

Constitutional experts have met with Charles and his most senior aide, principal private secretary Sir Michael Peat, in the last few months.

The source said: "Charles thinks time is a great healer and they will both be crowned at Westminster Abbey."

The meetings fly in the face of an official statement released when Charles wed Camilla in 2005. Clarence House said then: "It is intended that Mrs Parker Bowles should use the title the Princess Consort."

The move was backed by the Queen, the Prime Minister and the Archbishop of Canterbury, as it was thought that the public would not want Camilla as queen.

She also uses her secondary title the Duchess of Cornwall because her primary title the Princess of Wales is too closely associated with Diana.

But being an HRH duchess means that instead of being graded as the second highest-ranking female royal in the UK Order of Precedence, she has been officially placed fourth-after the Queen, Princess Anne and Princess Alexandra.

The source said: "The Duchess of Cornwall wants what is hers by right. She appreciates why, after Diana, it is best not to use her title Princess of Wales.

"But when her husband ascends the throne that is a different matter. The Duchess understands for her husband to have the respect she thinks he deserves, she needs to be shown respect too.

"By having a consort who is not given the title that is hers by right, it will reflect badly upon the king.

You could have the ludicrous situation, like now, that she could be outranked by her sister-in-law Princess Anne and even the Queen's cousin Princess Alexandra in the royal pecking order.

"Clearly that is not something that could be allowed to continue."

When will you Brits wake up? Charles should be made permanent World Ambassador from The UK, and William should be King, period. Charles's time has passed, and Wialliam is the answer, as was his mother, to the future of the throne. Wake up there in the UK..its 2009, not 1492!!!!!!!!

By jay caulk. Posted October 26 2009 at 8:20 PM.

I have always been a staunch supporter of our beloved Monarchy and I always will be - nothing will eradicate my Royalist nature.

All those people who believe HRH The Duchess of Cornwall should not become HM THE Queen are living in some world very different to reality. Camilla should be accepted into society, into royal life and into the Monarchy.

For heaven's sake she is married in law to the future King - that AUTOMATICALLY MAKES HER QUEEN - the law would have to be changed in order for her NOT to be crownded Queen.

Leave Diana to rest in peace.
Accept Charles and Camilla as King and Queen when their time arrives, and don't come up with such stupid things like abolishing the Monarchy all together.

After all we are all human - Camilla and Charles are not perfect - neither was Diana - nobody is. What's in the past should remain exactly there - if you can call yourselves a true and loyal nation to British values then shut up, support Royalism, object Republicanism and move on.

Both Charles and this woman are only an example of everything that is wrong with modern society. For one, Charles deceives at will and can well feign being high class, but is worse than common: vulgar. And, Camilla, is she not a tart? I, for one, will turn completely Republican if these two become monarchs. Almost eleven years after her death, I still believe the next queen should have been Diana. I'm still loyal to her beyond everything else.

By Emile. Posted February 16 2009 at 8:59 PM.

Hell no! This woman should most certainly not be queen. Queen Camilla? Lord have mercy!

By Diana. Posted November 14 2008 at 7:04 PM.

Charles should abdicate in favor of William, son of Diana. It's the only way to save the monarchy.

By Queeg. Posted November 4 2008 at 1:59 PM.

Now, as far as a "Queen Camilla". I think that they are just saying she will become "HRH The Princess Consort", to make all of the British people happy. Although, Charles is secretly planing on making her "HM The Queen", as soon as he becomes the King. Everyone should just stop trying to move towards being a republic and just face the facts that she will be Queen and there is nothing that we can really do about it! Although, the brighter side to this is that she will not be Queen long. By the time he becomes King he will be around 80 years old. And she will not be Queen long. She will more than likely be a Dowager Queen. Because Charles should die after being on the throne for about six years. And then Wills and Kate will take there place. And Camilla will be "HM The Dowager Queen", a Queen with NO THRONE! So let her be Queen for five minutes if that is what will make her happy. Then so be it! But if she does become Queen. That will be the end of the Commonwealth. The Australians, the Candians and the Jamaicans will not stand for her to be the new Queen of Great Britian!

It just goes to show the adulation movie stars get. Diana wouldn'T GIVE people the time of the day without the camera on her. And as I have read in accounts given, it was she who broke her vows first. I say
















It just goes to show the adulation movie stars get.
Diana wouldn't give anyone or anything the time of day without the camera being on her. Besides from all acounts it was she who broke her vows first after the marriage. That she did any mooning after Charles ridiculous!
We think Camilla will be a lovely Queen.

I have always been a Royalist but would far rather have a Republic than the old Mrs Parker Bowles as Queen.

No wonder she is called the "crocodile" and far worse!

Camilla has Cursed the Monarchy with her reputation and everything she stands for.

Charles is a selfish , blind fool to think he can force her on us! NO Queen Camilla Charles.


By Penelope. Posted September 21 2008 at 9:32 AM.

Who the hell wants the ROTTWEILLER as Queen of England. That woman has done damage to the Royal family. Charles is a wimp and has no backbone, if he did they wouldnt have got into the mess they are now. How can you have a king that is so out of touch with the people. The Queen should pass the crown onto William, at least we will have a king that has got a clue what is going on in the world today, not one who sits in his ivory tower, and is only concerned about himself.

William (and if he marries Kate) will be the King and Queen. Only those two will save the royal family from obvious PR disaster and make them untouchable again. Charles would be smart to hand over the title to Wills and not take it himself.

By Michael R. McKeown. Posted September 20 2008 at 10:21 PM.

As an American, one who has strong English ancestry ties, I would really hate to see Camilla become Queen. Many of us here in America can trace our family roots deep into the generations of English men and women of the past and are proud to have that ancestry. Some things that the English Crown should carry always are morals, values, class, and respect. We loved Diana here and grieved terribly when she died. I just know this woman could never take her place. Never thought too much of Charles either. I hope that England can straighten this thing out without the Crown being tarnished forever.

Well the writting is on the wall for Camilla and the Windsors.
Already Australia and Canada and a couple of African countries have said that they are leaving the Commonwealth when Elizabeth goes... they know whats comming !
The United Nations wants Great Britain to have a referendum on the monarchy (but strangely silent on the Lisbon Treaty )
Camilla might be "in line" for the throne due to her illegal wedding, supported by a dog end ,soon to be ex government..but there will be a new government soon.
It is clear from this poll (above 75%) the British don't want this old slapper as their Queen... so if she becomes Queen then the public support for the UN resolution will be massive..
Of course they could make Prince William King, and everyone will be happy.... the writting is on the walls......can't say that they weren't warned.
(Maybe this is why Charles is buying up gloucestershire to go with his other aquisitions..Devon and Cornwall !



By Jonathan . Posted September 19 2008 at 4:09 PM.

Miss out Charles and William we want Princess Ann as our Queen. Charles is weak, Camilla is just there for the money and has no personality, William is like a wet weekend, but Princess Ann, the hardest working royal, she will put the house in order.

Yes so we should choose another queen. Oh wait this is a monarchy. We do not get any say in the matter and cannot merely pick and choose our next monarch. so you are either stuck with what you are given or Britain becomes a republic, there unfortunatly my babbling friends is no middle ground.


By James Newsham. Posted September 19 2008 at 12:17 AM.

I have always been a staunch supporter of the Queen and I hope that she does talk this matter over with her courtiers as to have Charles become King with Camilla as Queen will be a huge disaster for the Monarchy, in fact it could well spell the end of the Monarchy as we know it. You say there is no middle ground maybe that is so but there is the a way forward and that is that Charles relinquishes his right to throne, he does have that option especially if he realises that Camilla is not wanted or popular with the majority. William or Harry will be the ones to save and maintain the monarchy whereas Charles will destroy it.

By Rose. Posted September 19 2008 at 11:52 AM.

she deserve to be Queen

By wazdan. Posted September 19 2008 at 9:36 AM.

Charles himself said a Monarch cannot exist or rule without the will of the people behind him.

Charles has Camilla and his valets behind him, but certainly not the British people who will never accept nor forget what he has done nor how Mrs Parker Bowles got where she is.

Charles is destroying the very foundations the Monarchy stands on with his stubborn and selfish insistance on marrying his mistress and still clinging like a fool, to the throne, whilst incessantly telling others how they should live.

The nation will never accept Camilla, so Charles has lost the nation .

A Republic is a certainty if Charles continues to ignore the opinions and feelings of the British people and the rest of the world.

By Penny. Posted September 19 2008 at 7:57 AM.

Camilla should never be Queen as she is not fit for the role, in fact on reflection Charles is not fit for the role of King. I don't think the royal advisors realise the extent of the hatred that the public feel for Camilla. I wonder if the advisors in trying to placate Charles understand the crisis they will be creating if they carry on with this idiotic quest to make Camilla the Queen of England?. Charles I think needs some sort of professional help because although he knows his mother has been one of the greatest monarchs we have ever had for these past 55yrs Charles with his blatant selfish obssession for Camilla is determined to destroy all she has strived to maintain, he won't be happt until he drives the last nail in the royal coffin.

Camilla will always be hated.
Camilla will never be forgiven and what she did to Diana will never be forgotten.

How can such a woman be accepted as a Queen?
Better a Republic than a Camilla most people feel.

By Tamara Alvina. Posted September 18 2008 at 4:58 PM.

It would be an absolute travesty if this woman became Queen.
If Prince Charles and Camilla had , had the bottle to admit their feelings a long time ago.Princess Di would still be with us and our History would have been so different.Prince Charles made her miserable, (except for her boys) and when it looked like she had found happiness at last it was taken away and I believe TAKEN AWAY.
A beautiful, wonderful woman lost her life because of these two and for that they cannot be forgiven.
I do not think the British public would ever accept her as Queen.

No No No. she should never be Queen nor should charles be King, he made his choice when he married her.

By Nancy. Posted September 17 2008 at 11:57 PM.

Of course the whole world knows that Diana had affairs but only after she had been cast aside by the husband she adored. She made bad choices with men but maybe that was simply because she carried a torch for Charles (and I honestly believe this to be true) and compared other men to him. What do the people woo criticise Diana for this think she should have done once she realised that she had been used by Charles for a brood mare? Maybe you anti Diana people think she should have taken a vow of chastity or entered into a convent. Diana was the wronged woman not Camilla.

Camilla had other men when she was young, James Whittaker royal correspondent once said in a Camilla documentary that she bedhopped in the seventies and was seen in party circles as a good time girl. This is one of the reasons why if Charles had married Camilla he would have had to relinquish his right to the throne as Camilla wasn't a virgin and a virgin was needed to bear the future heirs. People seem to forget that Camilla had a husband and two children while she was having the affair with Charles. In fact Diana, Charles, Camilla, and Andrew was often together at dinner parties so it would seem that Charles and Camilla had no shame whatsoever.

I personally do not want to see this awful dowdy, conniving, woman on the throne of England and as from what we was led to believe at the time of their wedding they had no intention of Camilla having the title of 'Queen' so what has changed?

By Patricia Mary. Posted September 17 2008 at 8:27 PM.

Yes she should be queen, she's the wife of our future monarch for heaven's sake. All you prats who seem to think the sun shines out of diana's bum ought to get a grip on reality. Yes it's said the boys have lost their mum but one thing springs to mind - seatbelt! Unfortunately for you blinkered lot who thought diana was queen of hearts ought to realise she was just as bad at having affairs, while she was married i might add. You only have to look at harry to know he looks nothing like charles and more like a certain ginger haired man. Leave charles and camilla alone, let her be queen and let diana rest in peace and stop making her out to be the saint she most certainly was not.

By Julie. Posted September 17 2008 at 7:03 PM.

Charles is like his uncle, the duke of windsor, as Mrs Sloakam would say, 'Weak As Water'. As for the awful woman whom he married, ok that was his choice, but why he expects the people to call her Queen is beyond me. I don't know why Canada stays in the Common wealth. England is having a hard time now, what do you think will happen if Camilla becomes queen, of course they are both getting on so it wouldn't be for long.

By mary gair. Posted September 17 2008 at 6:11 PM.

she should not become queen. As for charles, if he thinks that the people will warm to her he got another thing coming. Camilla ruined a family. She destroyed a marriage and a home for to boys. Charles should skip the throne and it should be passed down to william and kate!!! I think the people would appreciate that more. We would also celebrate it without a second thought. I will not celebrate when charles becomes king and i will never ever have respect for them either. I will tell people that i do not have a king or queen. I will not moan them when they die as i moaned diana. She will always be in my mind but they wont.

By kellyanne . Posted September 17 2008 at 3:16 PM.

The Queen, rather than Charles, should pay extra attention to whom William marries. King and Prince Consorts can do major damage to the monarchy. Don't repeat mistake and select the wrong person for the fourth time in a century.

By leon orashi. Posted September 17 2008 at 1:43 PM.

If I may borrow a line from a well known t.v. personality...."YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS".....NO, Charles got to marry the woman that makes him happy and that's fine by me but he must stand aside in favour of Prince William because the younger generation will support him and keep the monarchy alive, our generation have been fortunate in as much that we have had the dear late Queen mother and the present Queen who's husband has always been with her giving his support. No sorry Charlie boy, it's got to be William.

By shirley australia. Posted September 17 2008 at 2:51 AM.

Second, if Charles were to abdicate in favor of William, it would require every one of the Commonwealth realms to pass a special law determining the succession of the separate crowns. That would likely break apart the entire Commonwealth. Is it worth it just so you Camilla haters don't have to put up with a couple years of a Queen Camilla? Get over yourselves.


By Mike. Posted September 16 2008 at 7:49 PM.


If Charles insists that Camilla become queen then I am afraid there will be no commonwealth left to break apart as I think Australia and Canada would rather become a republic.than have a queen Camilla If it takes a special law to prevent Camilla becoming queen then so be it rather that than the end of the monarchy. Edward did the decent thing for the sake of the monarchy by abdicating and if Charles has any integrity at all he will do the decent thing and relinquish his right to the throne.

By Kathy. Posted September 17 2008 at 12:00 AM.

charles and camilla are both forgetting that. as with many divorced couples . he had a first wife and the mother of William and harry. In many divorce cases, this leads to great harm on the children. Even more so when the mother is pushed out or left out of their lives. This problem does not exist in other cultures when the subsequent other wives are seen and treated as commoner or prostitute. In Italian law they are taxed 75% and not allowed to mix with the children and the first wife takes over the affairs. In this situation Charles does not have to change Camillas place . due to the fact that she was born a commoner. She will not Worry other cultures as she is seen as beneath his first wife as she is not the mother of his children.Charles can take a commoner to the throne room because of this but she will never rule or have any say in his children to do so is an offence against his first wife or relatives .

By bernadette. Posted September 16 2008 at 10:40 PM.

I am in my 70's and so is my husband,but I hope that I will see WILLIAM crowned not his father,
I think that Wills is more educated and more in touch with the people, Charles is always fiddling
with his cufflinks or his hands in his pockets, he would be better talking to his plants.
I have little to say about Camilla she got what she wanted, DIANA I hope will haunt her, only for her Diana would be here today, she had her faults everybody has but she has our love and still does,

I am a Canadian monarchist and remain 100% against Camilla becoming Queen of England. Preferably, Queen Elizabeth will weigh the wisdom behind denying Camilla's wish to wear the crown with Prince Charles as King. Hopefully, the Queen will take a strong stand and name Prince William as her heir to the throne. We have all had more than enough of "Charles-and-Camilla-Gate". Neither deserves the honour of ruling the great country of England and her Commonwealth.

First, his wife's title is not Charles' choice. By law the wife of a King is a Queen - period. You don't like it? Talk to your PMs about changing the law, but don't blame Charles - he doesn't make the law.

Second, if Charles were to abdicate in favor of William, it would require every one of the Commonwealth realms to pass a special law determining the succession of the separate crowns. That would likely break apart the entire Commonwealth. Is it worth it just so you Camilla haters don't have to put up with a couple years of a Queen Camilla? Get over yourselves.

Calamity Camilla is a disaster and we do not want her as Queen or HRH.

Camilla has been rammed down our throats against our will and the nation is choking on her and will not stand any more of her.

Charles is not only stubborn but blind if he cannot see that he has gone way too far.

They should both go to pasture in the countryside out of sight and out of mind and leave something for William.

By Penny. Posted September 16 2008 at 6:10 PM.

There is no way on Gods earth that that woman is going to become Queen. Nothing can repair what they did to Diana. The throne belongs to one HRH in the future and that is Prince William, nothing more to be said.

By Liam. Posted September 16 2008 at 6:03 PM.

Camilla might be his wife, but the people have long memories and there is no way we would want her as Queen. What makes his position any different to Edward, at least Edward had the courage of his own convictions, it is about time he was made to choose between his position as King or his Camilla.
I am afraid the Queen and her Government have to listen to the people on this one to save face.

By Yvonne Perks. Posted September 16 2008 at 5:50 PM.

I can't understand why the Royal Establishment ever allowed Charles to marry Camilla because they knew that the majority of the people objected to it but Charles got his own way thus causing the royal family to go into further decline now he wants to add insult to injury not only to the people but his mother and his sons by demanding that we accept Camilla for our queen. The establishment should take note we have been pushed as far as we are going to go with Charles and Camilla so they should now put their foot down and say no to this spoilt and childish man enough is enough in fact this latest outburst is pushing the people way beyond their endurance.

By Patricia M. Posted September 16 2008 at 2:13 PM.

When will Charles and Camilla just leave us all alone. Yes he married camilla it does not mean we had to like it. Why does he not do the decent thing and leave the throne to William he made his choice.
They set out to hurt Diana who is still much loved. Do they think we will ever forget our beloved Diana even now she is still in our hearts and always will be. My children are now the same ages of William and Harry and they lived through it with me. The history has been passed on to them all the deceit and lies they put on to a young girl in love with her price. William and Harry are a credit to their mother and the british people would love to see the throne go to her sons. Even though we all know that would never happen Charles is to selfish. No to Camilla

By diane. Posted September 16 2008 at 1:41 PM.

Camilla's morals fit in with new generation. Meaning she has none she comes from a family who brag that they were ****** so good luck cow your going to need it..

By Uze Smythe. Posted September 16 2008 at 11:57 AM.

Queen Camilla - no way.
It would destroy the monarchy & all the hard work
the queen has done.
Charles should do the decent thing & declare that he will abdicate like his uncle did.
William for King.

By Rosemary. Posted September 16 2008 at 12:58 PM.

No no no Charles and Camilla should be King and Queen as his granduncle Edward and Mrs Simpson were not allowed to become King and Queen.As the situation is exactly the same.

By james donald. Posted September 16 2008 at 12:30 PM.

a couple of dotty aging boomers "ascending" the throne is just too ridiculous to picture... this makes the whole royal thing totally ridiculous.... what use is this monarchial pair anyway??????

By john smith. Posted September 16 2008 at 4:38 AM.

i do not think camila should be queen

By paul. Posted September 16 2008 at 3:09 AM.

well more of a question than a comment,, what if prince charles decline becoming king not that would happen but this family has been ruling these countries for over 1500 years right . well would it go to his wife or if he wasn't married would it go to his son's . my question is will they every have a goverment like the united states? or will the united states ever be taken over by a queen or king? i guess i was sleeping in history cause i have alot of question hope u can help !!!!

By jennifer . Posted September 16 2008 at 3:51 AM.

Camilla will be Queen when her husband becomes King; it would require a special law to make it otherwise. I think she should be Queen. Camilla gives Charles the friendship and love and support he needs to do his current job and the one he will inherit in due course should be outlive his mother, and the accounts I have read indicate she is a warm, friendly, considerate person. Charles' first marriage was a disaster and should never have taken place. I think it is very sad that Diana died before she had the chance to find the sort of happiness Charles now has, but that doesn't mean Charles should be denied his. He is now with the woman he should have married in the first place, and I wish them good luck and happiness. His marriage to Camilla has given us back the happy, laughing Charles we knew from his youth. I'm very disappointed to read all the bitterness in previous posts here.

By Roslyn. Posted September 16 2008 at 1:14 AM.

I belief that, every thing is okay.

By kofi. Posted September 15 2008 at 11:36 PM.

I may share her name but fortunately that is all I share. I think it is a travesty for Charles to even be considering trying to make Camilla queen after the demise of our current monarch, Charles should do the decent thing for once in his life, hang his head in shame and denounce all interest in the throne, It is common knowledge of the affair these two conducted whilst Charles was married to Diana, and we are supposed to accept this marriage wrecker as queen and an aldulterer as head of the Church of England. GIMME A BREAK!!! In the US you would be trailer park trash.

By Camilla. Posted September 15 2008 at 10:12 PM.

An absolute joke - never never never. Charles is deluded if he thinks the British public would tolerate such a preposterous idea. Get real Big Ears!

By D.Brade. Posted September 15 2008 at 8:56 PM.

Queen Elizabeth served her country well for many, many, years and to have that dried-up, bed-hopping, home-wrecker old hag follow in her footsteps would be a disgrace and an insult to a very fine lady. I hope that the British people make their voice heard loud and clear that this cannot be allowed to happen.

By Jackie. Posted September 15 2008 at 6:39 PM.

No! we do not want the cow as Queen. Send her and Charles to AFGHANISTAN and bring our soldiers home.

By Betty Collis-Brown . Posted September 15 2008 at 5:37 PM.

No I do not want that dog to be Queen - I hate her. Both Charles and the dog have proven to be liars and underhanded cheats and as a result Princess Diana suffered. I do not want either of them to rule MY country. How could we hold our heads up to the rest of the world. The world would think we don't care about honesty and integrity and we damn well do. Charles should abdicate take the old bag with him and clear off.
If it takes the Queen to change the law then change it now - before its too late. So Charles can never have her as our Queen. Change the law so that it can not be changed during Charles' life time.

By June Watson. Posted September 15 2008 at 4:42 PM.

I hope the present Queen remains for many years to come.
After which we should close the whole show down.

Please, don't let it continue.

By richard. Posted September 15 2008 at 4:24 PM.

No way should that old bag be queen. Edward had to abdicate for same reason. So why not charles? Get out and take your old bag with you!!!

By Anna. Posted September 15 2008 at 2:53 PM.

I think the quicker the British public vote for a Republic the better. It makes me so angry that we should still have to support the Royal Family especially in times of this "credit crunch". I'm sure our taxes could be put to far better use. I just wish Tony Blair hadn't advised them after Diana's death as we wouldn't be having this debate as they would no longer exist! As for Charles and Camilla they should hide themselves in shame they carried out an adulterous affair all the way through both of their marriages. How can they expect or command respect???

By Alison. Posted September 15 2008 at 2:05 PM.








It is said in the article that Charles knows in his own mind that his wife should be queen when he ascends to the throne, well in that case why doesn't Charles do the decent thing and relinquish his right to the throne after all he must know that the majority of the people will never accept Camilla as queen. He has thrown tantrum after tantrum to get his own way where Camilla is concerned and the royal establishemnt, Rowan Williams head of the Church of England (who is also unfit to hold the title), and the government have all pandered to this pampered prince. Lord Falconer too ( From Tony Blairs cabinet) gave his blessing and backing to the marriage of Charles and Camilla by saying the marriage would be legal under the human rights act despite an old age law that would have decreed the marriage illegal.
1) The source said: “The Duchess of Cornwall wants what is hers by right. She appreciates why, after Diana, it is best not to use her title Princess of Wales.:

Who does Camilla thinks she is fooling? the people have always known that she coveted all that should have been Princess Diana's including the crown.

2) The Duchess understands for her husband to have the respect she thinks he deserves, she needs to be shown respect too.

What a nerve this woman has, her arrogance holds no bounds and she is so brazen with what she considers her right to the people's respect.


By Katherine. Posted September 15 2008 at 11:57 AM.

Let us forget what has happened in the past with Camilla. We must think of the future. She does not seem to be Queen material. Her public engagement are few few and she does seem to be very uncomfortable when she does carry them out. Instead of the finest clothes she seem more comfortable in her county gear. I do not think it is a question of should Camilla be Queen, a more pressing question should be Is Charles fit to be King. I am sorry but the answer must be NO. This has nothing to do with his past relationship, it is the fact he is immature, spoilt and interfers with topics he knows nothing about. When anything happens to Queen Elizabeth we must ask the people do we need a royal family in this day and age.

By Tom . Posted September 15 2008 at 11:42 AM.

Absolutely NOT!! This woman has shown and proven to all, that she is a manipulative cheat and liar...She loves the ultimate power of being able to control this weak excuse of a man, who one day, supposedly will reign as King. Well I for one do not want to see him in that role. She feels she should be given the same respect as her husband... Well in my opinion, that won't be too much respect given out to either..
IF this does happen, I hope Canada will follow Australia and depart from the commonwealth and become a republic...

By Kate. Posted September 15 2008 at 11:19 AM.

Queen Camilla, I dont think so. What a sham. They really think that we all button up the back. We are not so easy, that we will agree to such an unthinkable situation. What happened to her being Princess Consort? It will not be accepted. Surely when Prince Charles is pushing for this he is not suitable to be King. He is not thinking straight.

By Val Boyle. Posted September 15 2008 at 11:03 AM.

Do away with the Royal family, they are parasites on society. As for Camilla being Queen, she is of limited intelligence, does not like doing public duties but loves having the money. Get rid of the lot of them. Buckingham Palace and all the other palaces they live in can be turned in homes for the homeless.

By Daisy Johnson. Posted September 15 2008 at 8:37 AM.

I was quite amazed to read in the article, ' For her husband to have the respect she thinks he deserves, she needs to be shown respect too.' As this tacky couple again and again have proved THEY certainly have no respect for the views of the majority of their, (would be) subjects that live in the real world, which is why they should go now.
Remember all the twaddle Charles has given us over the years on how he sees his future role as King. He cares little about duty and even wants to change the oath he must swear to protect our traditions. Such as he wants to be 'Defender of ALL FAITHS', not just C of E. Surely the Pope to name but one religious leader would be upset at that!.
Here in Australia we will become a Republic during this Government's term of office. N.Z. and Canada will follow once that happens. Come on U.K. You know it makes sense. All of you deserve better.

By Ann. Posted September 15 2008 at 8:13 AM.

Camilla, a modern day Anne Boleyn scheming her way to the throne.

By Jenny. Posted September 15 2008 at 8:10 AM.

My God, these two are utterly conniving and self-serving! Make no mistake, there has ALWAYS been an agenda - no matter who else has paid for it.

Who stand either one of them? They cannot represent the best of the UK, can they?

By Anonymous. Posted September 15 2008 at 7:12 AM.

KING WILLIAM.

By anonymous. Posted September 15 2008 at 7:13 AM.

I say No to Charles & Camilla, No william and Kate( no experience) Kate's to lazy. I vote for Edward & Sophie!

By Rosalee. Posted September 15 2008 at 7:14 AM.

I am an avowed Canadian Monarchist who thinks Charles will make a fine King,(he was simply ahead of the curve on the environment and architecture, and anyone who has heard about his new housing development, PoundBury, would realize that he is a Monarch for the 21st century). If he wants his partner to be Queen, I have no problem with that.

God Save the Queen!
