Prince Charles' adorable tribute Duchess Camilla, as it's revealed that she'll be Queen on his ascension to the throne, shows they're as devoted to each other as ever.
- Prince Charles' adorable tribute Duchess Camilla speaks of his 'darling wife.'
- Up until this point it was understood that she wouldn't be Queen consort.
- In other royal news, Duchess Camilla granted permission to wear the Queen Mother's special Crown—but what is the Koh-i-Noor diamond and why is it said to be cursed?
Prince Charles' adorable tribute to Duchess Camilla comes as the Queen announced on her Platinum Jubilee that her daughter-in-law will be Queen Consort.
The Queen began her Platinum Jubilee celebrations with a tea party at Sandringham. Alongside the festivities, she made the huge announcement in her official speech.
She said, “And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”
Although Prince Charles led tributes for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, calling his mother 'inspiring,' showing his gratitude for her hard work he also laid his love down for the other most important woman in his life—his wife.
In an official statement, he said, "We are deeply conscious of the honor represented by my mother’s wish."
“As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout.”
Up until this point, it was believed that Camilla would be 'Princess Consort' as opposed to Queen consort. The reasoning behind this was related to the less than conventional beginning of their relationship.
The Queen's public declaration of support towards Duchess Camilla puts paid to any suggestion that there's any drama between them.
