Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall's Popularity Soars After Queen Elizabeth Changes Her Title To Queen Consort
She's winning over everyone! Just a few days after Queen Elizabeth revealed that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall would be known as Queen Consort once Prince Charles becomes King, Brits appear to support that decision.
According to a public poll, 55 percent of people support the decision, The Mirror reported. Only 28 percent of people didn't like the change.
In early February, the monarch shared the news.
“I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me," the 95-year-old said in a statement. “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.”
In response, Prince Charles wrote a sweet note to his mother. “On this historic day, my wife and I join you all in congratulating Her Majesty The Queen on the remarkable achievement of serving this nation, the realms and Commonwealth for seventy years," he began. “The Queen’s devotion to the welfare of all her people inspires still greater admiration with each passing year."
“We are deeply conscious of the honour represented by my mother’s wish," he continued. “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. The year of this unprecedented Platinum Jubilee brings an opportunity for us all to come together in celebrating the service of The Queen, by whose example we will continue to be led in the years to come.”
Not only is the public excited about Camilla's new role, but so is the 73-year-old royal.
“Charles is over the moon that his mother has given her seal of approval,” an insider told Us Weekly. “It’s a dream come true.”
