Why should she be crowned alongside Charles? What has she done apart from break up his marriage? In some countries she would be punished for adultery but here we hive her a crown, she already has a brass neck so no to the crowning ,

You all probably will not like my comment but I really do not think that Camilla being Queen Consort is a good idea being she represents a person whom lies and performs adultery. How could you trust someone like that as Queen. Yes we live in a more acceptable society but I think if would be in the best instrest of our great nation if Prince Charles and Camilla step aside and let Price William become king and Kate our Queen. Both Kate and William represent all that is good and kind but also they have proved themselves because they are honest, trustworthy and have shown great Morals and ethics as well as being downto earth. They truly understand that of our 21st century Britain and all we stand for. Yes this is just my opinion and I don't expect everyone to agree being we all have our own views. To be honest Camilla will never live upto the late Princess Diana. Yes Diana was young and maybe it was hard for her but Diana always put us the people before herself. Camilla though of herself first which in my book is very unbecoming of a future Queen consort. Diana was the people's Princess where as Camilla was just a, fake friend to Diana and Charles mistress. You seem to focus on oh but Camilla makes Charles Happy yet you forget that Camilla was playing games with Charles feelings while she was in a relationship with Tommy Parker Bowles. Daina was just a porn to have children with after all Camilla already had children of her own. Yes you can forgive people over time but you can expect people to accept Camilla on unjustifiable facts. Charles and Camilla Broke Princess Diana as she was fragile to begin with. I maybe only nearly 40 years old but to me, I can see our county being prosperous with William as our king than I can with Charles on the throne. Well take care and nice chatting to you all.

No camilla should not be Queen It is NOT because they are both divorced. It is because they both have an attitude if entitlement and thought it was acceptable to USE a young girl to produce children to lie to people and conduct a sordid affair. This man would be defender of the faith which faith is he defending (one that suits him and camilla).

I think Camilla should definitely be queen. She has proved herself over the years. So many people have been divorced and their second wife doesn’t want to keep hearing about his first wife.

I really believe in my opinion that it will be the final nail in Diana's coffin when Camilla becomes queen
I think it will be a great shame when she does become queen
Camilla took Diana's husband her sons and now her title what a tragic turn of events
And as for Charles he never loved Diana she loved him and yes both had affairs
but the big difference was when they made marriage vows he never meant any of them as he was seeing Camilla through out he's marriage to Diana
both Charles and Camilla broke Diana mentally for a long time of her short life and with them having an affair people can make as many excuses as they like for them but the truth is they were married and still cheating on there spouses

And shortly he is to be head of the church with he's Camilla beside him it seems to me that they are going to be rewarded for there sins what a shame

I would not consider myself a Royalist, and it is difficult to judge anyone’s personal relationships as so much is unknown. However the details that are in the public domain show Charles and Camilla to be cynical, manipulative and cruel. These are traits that have been shown by many historical rulers, but surely the right thing to do if the Royal Family to retain any credibility in the 21st century is for the succession to pass straight to William and Kate .

NO Camilla should NOT be Queen Charles @camilla are bullies and SNEAKS His position was by birthright not merit the RESPECT he had to earn. He did not succeed What kind of people think it is OK to marry and use a young girl so he can keep a position They both emotionally abused Diana and they would both use William and his family if it suited them Charles has brought the monarchy into disrepute IF he becomes King
With Camila THEY will divide a nation and destroy all the Queen has built

Who pays for the security on the home Camilla kept when she married Charles

I find Camilla really interesting. A while ago I read that she keeps a separate home where she visits with her family and grandchildren and that is where she is truly at home. I think she does all she can to support Charles and the royals and she has the maturity to do it. Diana and Meghan were young and probably didn't have a strong enough sense of self to put up with all it takes to marry into the royal family. I would be curious to hear from others who have an inside scoop on Camilla.

Hello...As a lifelong "Royal Watcher" with family ties to the U.K., I've long followed all of the news about the royal family...With regards to Charles and Camilla, it's always been very hard to feel positive about them as a couple. Like millions around the world, I adored Princess Diana and with my wedding anniversary matching hers and Charles, I had a special place in my heart for the "fairytale"...If Charles had met Camilla under different circumstances, it might be different. Any woman following Diana would have a hard time being in that shadow, and if it were any other woman, I would feel sympathy for her. All love and romance aside, the facts are that Camilla took Diana under her wing, offering "friendship" while staying firmly in the picture. I can't think of anything that would excuse her virtually setting up a separate household with Charles while Diana was trying to build a marriage. Forget discretion, the fact that she offered to be Charles' mistress at their first meeting shows her character. Even if the only sleazy information about the couple was the disgusting "Camillagate" audiotapes...How is anyone...other heads of state, politicians, etc., supposed to respect a couple with that kind of history?! I wouldn't be able to look at them, thinking about the adulterous activities that they expect people to forget about. Charles is an entitled...? and just because he loves Camilla and thinks she's been rehabilitated with the makeover and the passage of time doesn't make her suitable. For all those who say that Camilla never wanted to be queen and was happy staying in the background...My opinion is that this was her goal all along. She sure is enjoying her rewards. More than even the adultry, I think the most despicable actions by both Charles and Camilla were making Diana feel that she was just imagining the affair. Knowing she was emotionally fragile and pretending that she was the one with the problem. These are people that will represent the U.K. to the rest of the world? I can't imagine her sitting on the throne that Queen Elizabeth has spent a lifetime protecting. All of the respect that she's garnered will go out the window with those two being crowned. If King and Queen were regular jobs with clear job descriptions, neither Charles or Camilla would get past the initial screening. Let them stay at Highgrove and skip to William and Kate. I think they are the only hope of any respect for the crown in the future.

When all's said and done, what is allowable now in our society isn't really the point, because being a Queen is not the same as being a common forelock-tugger like you and me, because we are never going to be married to the Head of our country. However, one day (like his mother) Charles will be Head of the Church, which traditionally has not allowed Monarchs to marry divorcees. (Remember what happened to Edward & Mrs Simpson and, just lately, to Harry & Meghan? It's gullible to imagine that moving abroad was all their own idea - they didn't fit into the Firm, so they had to go.) It'll be interesting to see which way the Church falls when it comes to deciding about Charles and Camilla's status. What Camilla gets to wear on her head is hardly the point now - the heir's divorce and re-marriage have already been blessed by the Church. Our opinions on whether or not they should be "allowed" to be King & Queen are redundant, since the Church has clearly already caved in. The real question is "Just how much should the Royals be allowed to kick the backside out of the country that keeps them?"

The past behaviour of both Camilla and Charles does not give rise to respect them as Monarchs. The media has been used to promote Camilla in a way that is intended to influence acceptance of her and unfortunately it seems to be working. The Royals are a business funded by tax payers and tourism. Royalty is outdated and as a Nation we should move away from this and stop providing lavish lifestyles for the Royal entourage and encouraging hypocrisy. I will cringe to see a crown on Camilla’s head!

Just how on earth can one accept a whore to be allowed to sit on the throne of England? As for the clown charlie same again if he ever became king that again i would never accept him as my king!
For me he is a utterly a bigger hypocrite than his fancy bit.Can you imagine a young bride to be marrying a prince who turns out to be a philandering nincompoop.
ALL i ask people is to put yourself in Dianna's shoes on her honeymoon with you man ,yet at the other end of the ship is a woman waiting for her share, I mean come on get real it just would not happen would it! So ok if people want to bow and scrape,and fawn at their feet then obviously they cannot be saved there is nothing left for them is there?
I know this opinion will not suit a lot of people will it ,but hey we are in a DEMOCRACY aren't WE!

No Camilla PB should not be crowned Queen She Charles and Andrew should just quitely disappear they deserve each other. They should have one house to live in that tax payer money funds they have no relevance to present day how many events can they open and their opinions are not valued William and Kate represent the British people well and represent family values better. Also Sophie Wessex and Edward
Present a distant image The Queen has done a good job but please don't foist Charles and Camilla on us
I don't know why Prince Harry left but that was his choice and let us not forget Charles was a bad husband and a rubbish father if it had not been for Charles and Camillas behaviour
Diana may still be alive today. who is the father of Laura P B

Every one has a right to an opinion and to express it, It helps if you have a good knowledge of the subject under discussion which unfortunately SoniaH1 apparently does not, no idea how much the Royal family pay out of their own purses, No idea what a President would cost us either. Wholly out of the Public Purse!
Our amazing Queen is just that She dedicated her life to the job when it was thrust upon her at an early age after her father's death. I am old enough to remember him, and the Royal family's courage during the war years, when the two princesses were children themselves and she has carried out endless duties of all kinds since, as have many others in the family.
They are slowly moving into modern times, and I for one would far rather have a continuation of a Monarchy in this country than any Presidency, by observation of the general run of holders of that office in the last few decades. There are very few examples that I could give credence to. Tradition, Pomp and Ceremony are deeply rooted and valued in this country. I am not an ardent Royalist, but I am proud of our heritage. Don't Knock it!!!!

No. But I don't think it can avoided.

Its terrible that they can get away with their destructive behaviour towards Diana and Charles' marriage.

I am sure as a Republican you will never see their worth but they are paid for the work they do for the country and the Queen voluntarily also pays tax. In 2018 it is estimated the Royals brought in £430 million more than they cost us that year. Do we mind paying them, no we do not as they earn that money.

Incidentally, Princess Diana did do charity work for people, her involvement with HIV and The National Aids Trust are well known, plus her work in supporting Centrepoint, The English National Ballet, Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, The Leprosy Mission and The Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust! What makes you think she was instructed to only work for animal charities?

They are all full of it, it is amazing how you all do not mind paying for these people to do nothing!!! The amazing queen even said to Diana to do animal charities instead of people!!! That’s the amazing queen of Uk

Sorry no.
