Hold strong ladies.
Like I can't imagine being Queen and having to deal with a whiny tantruming husband who's mad he doesn't get to be called King.

So when Will becomes King what will Kate be? Asking for DD who plans to be Queen someday (I’m saving her what do I want to be when I grow up writing that she did this year forever).
When she first decided that she will be Queen, I told her about Prince George (who she shares a birthday with). She already has a 5 year plan. She plans on locking this down by the time she is 10. She’s also already planned several of their future joint themed birthdays and her first decree (which is to treat people the right way-be kind)

I read somewhere that is what Camilla's title will be when Charles becomes King so I would assume the same for Kate. |

I read somewhere that is what Camilla's title will be when Charles becomes King so I would assume the same for Kate. Kate will be Queen Consort. They've "agreed" to not make Camilla queen, so she will remain Duchess. There is speculation that once Charles is King, he'll make her Queen anyway since his mom will be dead and therefore unable to object. The issue is that the title "king" sounds like it outranks "Queen" so they don't want King when the Queen is the monarch. So basically it's old school stuff (like 99% of royal protocols). |

I think Queen Consort. I read somewhere that is what Camilla's title will be when Charles becomes King so I would assume the same for Kate. At the time of their wedding, it was said Camilla's title would be Princess Consort — because divorce/scandal, I assume? But it seems likely Charles might opt to make her Queen Consort anyway. This sounds familiar. That's probably what I read. |

I think that would be dumb of Charles to make Camilla Queen. Like, QE is loved by most, the monarchy is popular now but has been on shaky ground in the past and the world was in love with Diana. I know everyone has mostly accepted Camilla (including myself rather begrudgingly) but it seems like it would be a dumb move on Charles' part to just create some drama.

I can't imagine Charles will ever abdicate. Like, its literally his life's purpose.
And he really publicly redeemed himself in some ways by stepping up and being a pretty decent dad to the boys after Diana.

I have heard the Princess Consort bring the selected title for Camilla. Charles making her Queen is suicide. Hopefully he isn’t THAT stupid.
I also can’t believe Charles would ever abdicate. The Queen is so strongly against it after what happened to her. It’s something she is very strongly against. I think it’s something she has hammered into Charles and Will.
But also, I think Charles is very interested in being King.

I can't imagine he will abdicate, but how long of a reign is he realistically going to have? He's more of a interim monarch between Elizabeth and William than anything else.
It has to be weird. He's been brought up his whole life knowing he's going to be king and time is just slipping by. I'm not saying he wants his mother to die, but it's gotta be weird.

I don’t think Charles will abdicate either. I read a while ago he’s very into environmental issues and doesn’t even plan to move into Buckinham Palace so that it can be open year round for visitors. Plus he’s been taking on more and more duties for Queen Elizabeth lately. Remember the comments about how he was the one deciding who would be a working royal, not te Queen?

Will and Kate are attending the BAFTA awards again this year. I guess they are doing the Golden Globes wear all black thing for that. The media is speculating on what Kate will do. The royals are not supposed to be involved in politics so they are unsure how Kate will handle the situation of what to wear. Does she go and not wear black and get accused of not being a feminist or does she go and wear black and get accused of being political? (I don’t see why this is an issue. I don’t think the Me Too movement is political, but it’s being talked about in the press so I brought it here to discuss.) Did we ever see what she wore to this? |

👋🏼 *waves* I've been lurking this thread so I figure I'll come out and play. I love Royal talk and I full on plan to ignore my family the day of Prince Harry's wedding.
I also had a dream last night that I was married to Prince William so that seems like a good intro. He could still get it.

Harry being cute with kids at an engagement today. God what is it about men playing with kids/babies that makes them 100 times more attractive?! My high school boyfriend was not a very attractive guy (and not a nice one, which took too long to figure out) but watching him play with his nephews was what softened me up enough to date him to begin with. |

I believe it was rather unusual that the current Queen Elizabeth kept her name. I can tell you her father took a regnal name when he became king, and so did Queen Victoria. |
