'Queen Camilla had huge title change that nobody noticed - or even cared about'
ok.co.ukQueen Camilla's official title has quietly changed from Queen Consort to just Queen, and it seems no one noticed.The term "consort" means "wife of the monarch" but it has now been dropped from her title as if it was never there.
Roberta Fiorito and Rachel Bowie, hosts of the popular podcast Royally Obsessed, chatted about this major change in their latest episode.
Fiorito said about Camilla: "It's really been a progression, because it went from Princess Consort, which is what I think is what they said she'd originally be called, to Queen Consort, and finally, for ease of use, for ease of speech, for media, just Queen now." Bowie added: "It's shocking, how quickly, we kind of all had to get in line behind this. "But, I think with Queen Elizabeth giving her blessing, this was the only way this would've really gotten through." While "Queen Consort" might sound a bit clunky and awkward, Rachel thinks the title change means more than that.
She said: "I think it had so much meaning to Charles at the time, in particular, as well as Camilla. It had been such a long game and they had been through so much." Whether it's Queen or Queen Consort, Rachel praises Camilla her for stepping up while King Charles is unwell.
