I think she will make a brilliant queen consort.
Both Charles and Camilla have their flaws but they have dedicated their lives to service of this country and its people. |

"I like Camilla. "
I think it is a good call. I think Camilla has the same sense of duty the the Queen does. I'd also say Kate has the same sense of duty. They are 3 marvelous women and they are great for the monarchy. |

I look at the Queen and just see a wee old lady, a Granny who has dedicated her life to a cause that she didn't ask for, she was born into. Feel sorry for her and I'm not remotely a fan of the Royal Family.
Camilla will always be looked upon as the other woman and compared to Diana she'll always fall short in the public eye. Although I think she's quite ballsy and has some personality which I quite like.

"Does anyone give a fuck? "
Not really, no....but I have a soft spot for old folk. They're like weans and animals. So a wee old woman with a completely fucked up family (despite her privilege) gets a toatie wee bit of sympathy.
Then Mr tells me to get a fucking grip  |

"Dont class myself as a royalist at all but I think when Elizabeth goes should be passed straight on to William, young blood
Why ?
Why not???"
Because it is not in England's constitution to skip a generation |

Queen Consort isn't Queen though is it?
If it is, I assume the difference was because Camilla is a divorcee so would have simply retained her Duchess title? |

She does plus of course she is still grieving. I guess when any of us lose a loved one regardless of our age we think about our own mortality. |

No wife of Charles' would ever be Queen. Only ever Queen Consort because Charles is the King. Contrary to what fairytale books etc show, we never have a King and Queen at the same time (nor Queen and King). Camilla was apparently going to be styled "Princess Consort" at the point she married Charles. Prince Philip was also Consort. The title "King Consort" doesn't exist. |

Actually from a quick Google it doesn't matter That she was a divorcee she would automatically be entitled to be called Queen consort, I think at the time it was more to do with people wouldn't have tolerated her as Queen Camilla but I think a lot of attitudes have changed. |

I've just read that now - when the BBC Breaking News banner popped up before, it said 'Queen wishes for Camilla to be known as Queen'
Now, however, it says Queen Consort
Either way, I think it looks like The Queen may be more progressive than we perhaps gave her credit for and recognises that the modernisation of the monarchy is integral to its long term survival |

I hope she isn't tidying up loose ends as I hope she gets to see the country celebrating her 70 years as our queen.
At 96 I think she is a maz ing.
Today will be a quiet day of contemplation for her. |

I think we've known that for a while because she changed the Constitution when Kate was pregnant. If Their first born was a girl she would have been Queen regardless if they went on to have a boy, Charlotte is above Louis in the line of succession. |

For the record (not that her religion matters)
Camilla is Anglican.
She married her first husband (Andrew Parker Bowles) in a Catholic ceremony, because he is Catholic.
She married Prince Charles in an Anglican ceremony.
But really, does it matter?!?! |

Any debate about Camilla always reminds me of the time I took a mini bus tour of Gibraltar. The driver was brilliant, when we stopped to look at the rock apes he said that, we've one called Elizabeth, one called Philip, one called William, another one called Kate, one called Diana, and even one called Sarah. He said that he was once asked by a tourist if they had one called Camilla. The answer he gave them was, "No we haven't got one called Camilla because, we couldn't find one that ugly." True story!!! |

Correct. The spouse of a Queen regnant is always a "Prince Consort".
Whatever the outcome I'll always support the monarchy. |

Camilla will automatically be titled HM The Queen the moment her husband becomes HM The King.
The husband of a Queen doesn’t take the title of King as, in the British royal family, king always outranks Queen.
The Princess Consort was to be a styling she used. Similar to her using HRH Duchess of Cornwall instead of HRH The Princess of Wales, which she is. |

Although referred to as Queen Elizabeth, our last reigning Queen Consort (the current Queen's mother) was also Queen Consort: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_The_Queen_Mother
One is only Queen (without the Consort) if one is the reigning female Monarch in their own right. |

I was simply responding to the comparison made about Camilla and Philip.
It is automatic that she will be HM The Queen. Consort may feature in her constitutional role, but it won’t feature in her title. |

What a load of sherbet !!!!

Charles and his mistress being king and queen is just disgusting and wrong  (massive middle finger ) sod that !

The right move 
Gives Will and Kate more time to enjoy family life and their current duties and charities until its his time for them to step up, by which time their children would have their own duties and charities |

I was about to say I’d rather have will and Kate as our king and queen but you’ve changed my mind. I never considered it like this, to let them have their lives first before put on the throne.
So yep, because of what was said above, I now agree, right move |

To answer the OP.
Indifferent.
I'd go further and ask why we even need a Royal Family in the 21st Century?
And don't start with the "they work incredibly hard for this country." I know lot's of people who work tremendously hard for the country and none of them are royals.
"Income from Tourism?" France seems to do okay and look what happened to their Royal family! (I don't advocate following that path, merely pointing out you can have a big tourism draw without royals in the mix.)

Camilla gets my vote I think she is a fine upstanding lady, the greatest tragedy of all is that they were prevented from getting together in the first, well that might not be quite true they probably got it together but you know what I mean. There is still a chance that the queen may out last . I suppose we have to have some sort of head of state so the monarchy looks a slightly better option than a Bojo/Trump type. |

There are lots of rumours surrounding their romance among them that she wasn't as keen on PC as he was on her and it suited her very well that they couldn't marry. |

"To answer the OP.
Indifferent.
I'd go further and ask why we even need a Royal Family in the 21st Century?
And don't start with the "they work incredibly hard for this country." I know lot's of people who work tremendously hard for the country and none of them are royals.

"Dont class myself as a royalist at all but I think when Elizabeth goes should be passed straight on to William, young blood
"
Why ? What is it that you think William knows, has experience of and can do better than his Father ? |

"I look at the Queen and just see a wee old lady, a Granny who has dedicated her life to a cause that she didn't ask for, she was born into. Feel sorry for her and I'm not remotely a fan of the Royal Family.
Camilla will always be looked upon as the other woman and compared to Diana she'll always fall short in the public eye. Although I think she's quite ballsy and has some personality which I quite like.
"
I agree with every word you say but I will add that Diana's popularity is in most part down to her passing. She could be reviled had she lived ........ it's martyrdom. |

I think the Queen has done what she can to say that she loves her son, values his happiness and has found Camilla to be the daughter-in-law she always needed.
It's not a popular view, but I also think Charles was faithful to the woman he loved: Camilla. He was uninterested, and casually cruel, to his first wife because his love was elsewhere.

"The wife of the king is always called Queen..... I'm pretty sure anyway
Posh
Not necessarily…. Prince Philip didn’t automatically become King to his Queen as Camilla will not automatically become Queen "
That's because back then king was a higher title than queen so if he had become king to his queen he would've been in charge not her |

"Charles shouldn't be king, he married a divorced woman.
Edward VIII had to give it all up when he married miss Simpson all them years ago, so why shouldn't Charles be made to give it up???"
Like to think weve learnt from past and moved on x |

Charles was also a divorced person when he married her. |

Things have moved on in the monarchy since then.

"I think she will make a brilliant queen consort.
Both Charles and Camilla have their flaws but they have dedicated their lives to service of this country and its people. "
But been payed hamsomely for it by the way. Charles is worth hundreds of millions. |

"If we have moved on then maybe it's time we got rid of the monarch n put the money they scrounge from the tax payers to better use "
That's a different issue really.
I don't think a majority of people in the UK would support a republic |

They don't and every poll confirms that. People also seem to forget we would need to change our entire political system as well. Yes there is an argument for that but I think we get rid of the monarchy and we get rid of what it is to be British. The monarchy is modernising but I certainly don't want to be without it. |

The problem with the monarchy as I see it is it tends to only change when forced to rather than anticipating where change is needed. Advisors tend to age with the monarch and are stuck in the past and progress is slow. |

we drop bombs on people accusing them of having a society based on a medieval ideology ... yet those same accusers attempt to extole the virtues of the medieval ideology that is the english monarchy in the 21st century  |
