Camilla ‘doesn’t mind’ title she’s given as she strives to back King

Camilla “doesn’t mind” how she is addressed, a royal biographer has claimed, suggesting the new Queen Consort pays little attention to royal titles. Angela Levin, author of the book Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort, discussed the use of the title Queen Consort rather than simply Queen when it comes to the wife of King Charles III.She told Express.co.uk: “I think she doesn’t mind what she is called, she is there to support her husband.”She is not somebody who puts a lot of efforts into having the right title.” The title the new Queen Consort would take on following the accession to the throne of her husband has been a matter of discussion for several years.Amid Charles and Camilla’s wedding in April 2005, their office at the time – Clarence House – said the new member of the Firm would assume the title of Duchess of Cornwall rather than Princess of Wales and would, following the new King’s accession, become Princess Consort rather than Queen Consort.
