Camilla as 'The Queen?' That's a question for the future, says King's spokesman

ok.co.uk:

The question of whether the Royal Households will ever refer to Camilla as “The Queen” rather than “Queen Consort” is one for the future, the King’s spokesman has said.

As the wife of the King, Camilla is technically Her Majesty The Queen, but in their briefings and statements Buckingham Palace has kept to Queen Consort.

A spokesman for the King did not rule out a shift when asked whether Camilla would forever more be known as Queen Consort, but said Charles and Camilla were concentrating instead on the events of the next week and a half. “The King and Queen Consort are focused on getting through those next 10 days,” the spokesman said. “I think those who saw the Queen Consort yesterday movingly meeting people outside Buckingham Palace know how moved she is at the moment and that’s her focus so that will be a question for the future.” Former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said royal officials were being cautious. “Despite all of the progress so far, royal officials – perhaps mindful of the Diana legacy – continue to be cautious about the precise nature of Camilla’s new status,” he said. “They prefer to focus on the fact she’s the consort of a king. “The reality is that Camilla is a Queen and Queen Camilla will be crowned at her husband’s coronation.” Camilla will be crowned at Charles’s side at his coronation, just as the last Queen Consort, the Queen Mother, was.

She is expected to wear the Queen Mother’s 1937 coronation crown. No date has been set for the coronation, but Elizabeth II’s ceremony was 16 months after her accession.The royal website used to declare: “A Queen consort is crowned with the King, in a similar but simpler ceremony.” But, following Charles’s marriage to Camilla, it added the get-out clause.
