So at last in a few weeks time these two lovebirds will marry. Polls show a warm contentment at Charles marrying Camilla but a lack of support for him being King and even less support for Camilla being his Queen. The titles she shall be given are Duchess of Cornwall and on Charles being King, Princess Consort rather than Queen.
My view on this is that the monarchy's moves towards modernisation have proved disatrous for it. The fairytale wedding, in the case of Diana and Charles with the beautiful blushing bride was a sham especially as Charles was already in love with Camilla. I feel the monarchy should be a rock on which stability reigns. Talk of passing over the crown from HM Elizabeth II to Prince William rather than Charles is I feel mnothing but populism and the long term damage to the monarchy may well prove more extensive than any short term popularity surge. I therefore support this announcement and on his accession feel Camilla should be Queen as that is the legal, constitutional position! What do you think?
