"Queen" Camilla
« on: 19 November 2010, 22:15:51 »
Just seen on the news that Camilla might become Queen, as opposed to Princess Consort, if and when Charlie takes the throne.

I thought this was a big no-no !  Edward VIII abdicated because he couldn't marry Wallace Simpson ---- was this because she was a divorcee or an American  ???

Why should she become a Queen ??? Phillip is not King, but Prince Consort.

How can Charlie bend the "rules" so ???

As far as I understand it no rules would be bent. A King always 'trumps' a Queen, which is why Prince Philip is only a consort, you couldn't have him being 'higher' than our Queen. Charles will be King, so Camilla would be queen because Charles would still be 'higher' than her despite her title.

What about the divorcee bit, or was the problem with Wallace that she was American ?

Mind you ... Phil is Greek, so that can't be it !

I don't think the divorce bit matters! Remember Henry VIII and the creation of protestantism!

Have a read of .......  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallis,_Duchess_of_Windsor

The King's desire to marry a woman with two living ex-husbands caused a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom and the Dominions, which ultimately led to the King's abdication in December 1936 to marry "the woman I love"

I think it can be seen by most people that the elite (hate using that word in relation to people), usually bend/create/get rid of rules to suit themselves and get what they want

Skip that whole generation, I say. What's the use of a King who's a pompous tree-hugger who whinges every time someone tries to build something modern? ;)

I was under the impression that Charles was never going to be King, such was his unpopularity and that Wills would be the next King......is this not why the Queen is hanging in there?

I'm with you there Kevin.  Kate is, as yet, an unknown. But I think William could make a good King.  Get a bit of "real" royal blood back on the British Throne too (thanks to Diana).

Where'd that come from?  :-? No reason at all to believe that Charles won't ascend after the Queen dies ....... he'll be 80-ish if the Queen Mum is anything to go by.  ;)

Was an idea chucked about a couple of years ago to try and make the Royals more popular again...

Personally, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't see the throne ;)
