Queen Elizabeth has, allegedly, downgraded Camilla’s future position from when Prince Charles ascends the throne.
According to Globe, Camilla expected that she would become queen consort when Prince Charles is crowned king. But the queen, allegedly, decided that she would just be styled as princess consort.
A source told the tabloid that the Duchess of Cornwall is humiliated and hurt by the snub. And before the queen could finalize her plans, Camilla, allegedly, asked Prince Charles to talk to his mother.
But no one knows for sure if Prince Charles would be able to convince the queen to style Camilla as queen consort.
The source also said that this is such a huge embarrassment for Camilla because it stresses the fact that she doesn’t have any senior standing her own right.
After all, Camilla is regarded as the second-highest ranking member of the royal family next to the queen but only when Prince Charles is around. If the heir t the throne isn’t around, Camilla doesn’t have any standing in the royal family.
The source also said that when Prince Charles is not around, the ranking of Camilla drops considerably. And this means that she would even have to curtsy to almost all the relatives of Her Majesty.
However, the insider also claimed that Camilla is hell-bent on making sure that she would be able to reverse the queen’s decision because she wants nothing more than to become known as the queen consort.
“She’s ordered Charles to go to bat for her – but it’s clear Her Majesty has no intention of changing her mind,” the source said.
But it’s unlikely for the tabloid’s claims to be correct. After all, Clarence House previously said that Camilla will be styled as Princess Consort when Prince Charles ascends the throne.
And there are just speculations that Prince Charles won’t accept this title for his wife because he knows how dedicated Camilla has been to him and the monarchy.
This proves that the tabloid’s claims are the exact opposite of what a royal insider previously said so it can’t possibly be accurate. Once this is decided, the confirmation will come from the palace and not from a disreputable tabloid.
As of late, there hasn’t also been any announcement regarding Camilla’s official title when Prince Charles ascends the throne.
