Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?

As the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary today, has Camilla won us all over with her style, substance and support?


Ten years ago 7% of the British public thought Camilla should be queen. In a similar poll 10 years later 50% of those polled said they now think Camilla should be queen when Prince Charles comes to the throne.


The past decade has seen perceptions of the former Camilla Parker Bowles transformed to a valued member of the royal “firm” whom half the nation would accept as queen.


It would appear that Prince Charles would like her to be crowned with him by his side and also that Prince William and Prince Harry have accepted her role.


What are your views? Has Camilla won over your heart?

I can’t support King Charles in his decision to make Camilla his Queen. I have always been a royalist, unfortunately no more!! He has disrespected his late mothers (Queen Elizabeth)wishes.
Camilla may be Charles Queen, bit I don’t believe she will ever be the nations.

No.

The Queen specified that she should be designated as 'Queen Consort' only.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that this was, at most, a reluctant acquiescence to Charles.

Charles is therefore usurping the Queen's expressed wishes.

Not to mention, trampling roughshod over the expectations of the British people, that he would respect these wishes.

To say nothing of whether or not Camilla's past behaviour disqualifies her from such a title?

This isn't going to end well..

Personally I think It's a shame we can't have a Queen Anne! More back bone than any of them. and underestimated by most as she works away in the background unnoticed.

Charles and Camilla were made for each other and have been devoted for a life time. Camilla wasn't deemed suitable when young so went away in the end and married someone else...who was a mistake. Meanwhile Charles was being encouraged to marry and provide heirs and Diana was the one...the rest is history now, We all loved Diana but ...Camilla and Charles got back together and she has been by his side ever since. Supportive and encouraging whilst remaining in the back ground most of the time. The Queen recognised this and decreed Camilla should be Queen when Charles became King - and so be it. I am happy to see her crowned alongside her husband now = as was the Queen mother before her.. She has earned her place and is well liked by those who know her - personally I think she must have the patience of Job! 🙂

No. I sincerely hope that once he has achieved his lifetime ambition of being King and seeing Camilla accepted as Queen that he has the good sense hand the crown over to William and Kate. I fear if he does not the Monarchy are on the slippery slope down and out of our constitution.

No she camilla should not be queen. William and Catherine should be King and Queen. Charles is not an honourable man and Camille will be known as queen of Tarts

How is possible that the royal choose when to follow history. Go back a couple of my generation would Charles and Camilla be able to marry ? Have we forgotten what few morals they have? And this decision has been made with no regard to what their subjects feel. I didn't like Charlie being King but felt we had no choose. Camilla as Queen, no!no!no!

Not my queen.. I agree with many of the comments that have been expressed. Self centred out of touch decision by them both.

I’m absolutely horrified and totally agree. Camilla will never be my Queen. I could just about cope with Consort but Charles has gone against our late Queen’s wishes.

There is only one Queen and she has tragically died. I do not want to see Camilla crowned Queen Consort and certainly don’t want to hear her being referred to as Queen.
I have a low opinion of Charles although he has been rather clever, or rather his advisors have been, in improving his image. However I have not changed my opinion of this weak individual, it’s such a shame he is the one inheriting the Crown from our wonderful Queen.

The only way Respect can come back to the Monarchy is for Prince William and His Wife Kate become King and Queen.

Camilla should never be Queen of our country she doesn't deserve it. Charles and Camilla were both unfaithful before and during both their marriages. They are together now but he should not hold her up on a pedestal.

Charles promised she would never be Queen when the law was changed to allow him to still be king after their marriage

So much for his word , not worth a toot, just like Diana said when she was getting her divorce settlement

We need an elected head of state, not this bunch of selfish neerdowells
