Also I think that back then when her becoming queen felt like a far off enough event, people were mollified by such gestures (queen consort vs queen). Now that they're faced with King Charles and Camilla as his queen, and all that that entails (wearing all the tiaras and having control of the jewels, etc) it's bringing up a lot of unresolved things surrounding Charles' divorce and Diana's death and all. And I can't quite figure out if Charles doesn't realize the extent of the public's disdain or if he just doesn't care. Probably a bit of both is closest to the truth, though as far removed, outside observers we'll never know and it's all just speculation. But so far his choices feel rather, antagonistic to a certain degree? He's certainly not helping in any case. She has always been his priority. Over his wife, then his sons, and I think she's the one who questioned what Archie's complexion would be. She DGAF who gets hurt as long as she's kept in gin and tiaras, and he does whatever keeps her happy.

I could have sworn it was something announced when Charles married Camilla, that she would only be queen consort, not queen, to help quell any public resistance to their marriage. But obviously I could be misremembering or confusing things. I believe it was actually going to be princess consort, and the queen relented on the queen consort thing in exchange for Charles going along with protecting Andrew. My memory could be wrong. Now that you say it, this is what I remember too. Like QE changing it put people all in a tizzy.

Eagles I suspect you're close to the truth there, he definitely puts her wants and needs (and his own) above everything else. Which will be an interesting contrast after his mother who, for all her faults, misteps and blinders, had an extraordinary sense of duty to country that clearly shaped her reign, often to the detriment of her family. I think that's partly why I see this ending badly for the monarchy at some point. It's not going to happen over night obviously, but I don't think the people of today will have much tolerance for a selfish and self absorbed king.

I think his boarding school years were miserable but he was otherwise spoiled and coddled, especially by his grandmother.

FWIW all queens with a king are Queen Consorts because a king will always outrank a queen. Queen consorts just aren’t ever called “Queen Consort FirstName” and it was only used to differentiate from QEII initially - which was a terrible PR move. Why QEII couldn’t wave her royal scepter and declare this entire rule stupid when she changed other royal protocols, I’ll never understand. It’s all made up anyways.

I said this on Twitter, but I really hope Meghan and Harry throw Archie a killer birthday party. An outdoor concert with Adele and Ed Sheeran, followed by a firework spectacular and Elton John gifting him a piano.
Can you imagine the way KC3 and the British media would loose their minds? They won’t, but a girl can dream.

Elton and Adele are probably shade, Ed Sheeran has a concert in Texas May 6th. Harry could probably swing it but he’s doing the Europe leg of his tour then. The schedule that man has been on for the past year or so is wild. I’d be dead. And I certainly wouldn’t be adding a stop for Charles. The palace is once again not doing logistics well. These artists have tours books super far in advance. They’re not going to go out of their way for Charles.

I don't like Camilla or Charles so much that every negative thing happening there brings me great joy. It’s giving me life right now in a very down part of my real life so I’m here with you

We saw something about would she get the Queen title and I said of course she will he will give her whatever to keep her happy and my h said oh yeah why and I reminded him she was the true love of his life/ mistress and he was surprised. It’s like he doesn’t pay attention to me

Could be the glitch in the matrix but that’s how I remembered it. My mom didn’t think she even should have gotten that! My mom loved Di and met both her and Charles when she was still in the fashion industry. She met Charles twice, once before wedding and one after. You are 100% correct. In 2005 they said she would be "princess consort" and then Chaz claimed that on her deathbed the Queen said she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort Which. Uh huh.

The protecting Andrew thing is 100% speculation. Oh yes, totally. But the timing of Liz coming out with "let Mrs. Ed be called queen consort" and then Andy paying off VG was too close for me not to buy into the theory.
