Camilla Will Be Queen: Queen Elizabeth II Uses Platinum Jubilee To Make A Declaration

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has used the historic milestone of her Platinum Jubilee to redefine the future of the monarchy, calling for the Duchess of Cornwall to be known as Queen Camilla when Charles becomes King.

The 95-year-old monarch laid out her vision for institution's transition in an extraordinary message released as she reached the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne.

"I would like to express my thanks to you all for your support. I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me," the Queen 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."

It's a hugely significant intervention from the monarch, who is the only person who can define royal titles.

    As it should be.
    Charles will be King, Queenship goes to Camila. Would it have been different if Princess Diana was to be alive?
