The heir to the throne’s office has quietly taken down a statement, made before the couple got married in 2005, in which they said it is ‘intended The Duchess will be known as HRH The Princess Consort when The Prince of Wales accedes to the throne.’
It has also been removed from her personal biography.
Even Buckingham Palace's website appears to have removed the reference in its profile of Prince Charles' wife, too.
Clarence House officials yesterday insisted that the statement had been removed some time ago from their ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ segment because the public was no longer interested in the issue.
A spokesman said: ‘This is one question that Clarence House has not been asked by the public for some time, which is why it no longer features.’
However online searches show it could still be found on the prince’s official website –
www.princeofwales.gov.uk - as recently as October last year.
Clearly burning questions such as: ‘Are the reports that The Duchess is still a smoker true?’ still feature in the same section, however.
In truth, however, he has long cherished the hope that his wife will, one day, become Queen by his side.
When asked by a US network in 2012 whether his wife could be Queen, he said: ‘We’ll see won’t we? That could be.’
Earlier the same year when an eight-year-old girl asked her: ‘Are you going to be Queen one day?’ Camilla replied: ‘You never know.’
In recent years Camilla has won over many of her detractors with her warmth, sense of humour and willingness to tackle difficult issues such as domestic abuse, giving Charles hope that he might yet win the battle over her position and title.
In June 2016, the Queen appointed Camilla to the Privy Council, thus allowing her to be beside Charles when he is proclaimed King.
Knew this would happen.
And right that it should tbh, the wife of a King is a Queen. End of story!
