Queen Elizabeth II, the first British monarch to rule for seven decades, expressed her “sincere wish” that Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall embrace the role of Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes King. On Saturday, Queen Elizabeth II, marking 70 years of her reign, used her Platinum Jubilee to announce the future of the monarchy, hoping her daughter-in-law would be called Queen and crowned at Charles’s side.
Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 25, acceded to the throne on February 6, 1952, after the death of King George VI. In 2005, when Charles married Camilla, she wanted to be recognized as “Princess Consort”, despite holding the title of Queen. Queen Elizabeth II’s recent announcement ended the long controversy over Camilla’s title.
