First she was to be known as Princess Consort. Then she became Queen Consort. But Buckingham Palace’s coronation invitation confirms what most have suspected all along. From now on, it’s officially Queen Camilla.

Invitation confirms crowning of Queen Camilla

For years the palace has shied away from confirming “the Queen” question when directly asked what Camilla would be known as when Charles acceded the throne.

Upon her 2005 marriage to the then Prince of Wales, a statement from Clarence House even mooted she would be known as Princess Consort, such was the sensitivity around the thorny subject. Then in February last year, the late Queen made clear her wish for her daughter-in-law to hold the title Queen Consort.

But the official invitation, being sent out to more than 2,000 guests for the 6 May Westminster Abbey ceremony, is the last word on the subject.
