Queen wants Camilla to be known as Queen Consort

The Queen has said she wants Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes King.
In a message marking the 70th anniversary of her reign, the Queen said it was her "sincere wish" that Camilla would have that title.
There had been suggestions Camilla would be known as Princess Consort.
But the Queen's announcement paves the way for her to be known as Queen Camilla in the future.
A Clarence House spokesman said the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were "touched and honoured".
The Queen's message, marking her accession to the throne in 1952, directly addresses the unresolved question of the Duchess of Cornwall's future title.

"It is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort," she writes.
"Queen Consort" refers to the spouse of a ruling king and would mean "Queen Camilla" as her future title.
There has been a different practice for male consorts of a monarch, such as Prince Philip or Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, who have become Prince Consort rather than King.

The usual precedent would have been for Camilla to automatically become Queen when Charles was King, but because of uncertainty about public opinion it had been suggested that might not be the case.
Charles and Camilla were both divorcees when they married in 2005 in a civil marriage. Charles had previously been married to Princess Diana but they divorced in 1996, a year before she died in a car crash in Paris.

The Queen has spent the anniversary of her accession in Sandringham
At the time of their marriage the official intention was for Camilla to be known as the Princess Consort. But plans for her title became more ambiguous in recent years.
The Queen's intervention means barriers to her becoming Queen have now been removed, and will allow her to have a fully-fledged royal role beside Charles.

The Queen's personal endorsement follows her New Year announcement that Camilla would become a member of the Order of the Garter - the highest order of chivalry.
Camilla, aged 74, has increasingly been involved in championing her own causes and interests, including charities supporting victims of domestic abuse.

Public service
The accession message, issued from her Sandringham estate in Norfolk, said the Queen still kept the promise of a lifetime of public duty, originally made in 1947 when she was 21 years old, "that my life will always be devoted to your service".
She reflected on how much she had gained from support given "unselfishly" by Prince Philip and thanked the goodwill shown to her by "all nationalities, faiths and ages in this country".

The Queen's message has made it clear that Camilla will be known as Queen
The Queen has become the first monarch in British history to have reached a Platinum Jubilee.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid tribute, saying: "Throughout her seven-decade reign, she has shown an inspirational sense of duty and unwavering dedication to this nation."
Sunday is expected to be a private day, with no public appearances.
The Queen said it was a day that "even after 70 years, I still remember as much for the death of my father, King George VI, as for the start of my reign".

英國靈媒預測英王室2022年迎大變局，查爾斯終登上王位但任期很短
2021-12-27 23:00 譯言

英國女王近年來由於年紀原因越來越少公開露面，但95歲高齡的她仍不遺餘力地履行自己的承諾。

在女王21歲生日之前,當時還是伊麗莎白公主的她曾立下誓言:“我宣布，此後一生無論是長或短，都致力於服務我們偉大的王室。”

轉眼間伊麗莎白二世在女王的位置上已經坐了68年，而她何時退位經常成為媒體談論的焦點。據英國《每日星報》12月26日獨家報道，英國知名電視靈媒黛比·戴維（Deborah Davies）近日聲稱，英國王室2022年將迎來大變局，從6月份左右開始，女王將不會再公開露面。


这位出演《柴郡主妇》的明星曾预测过新冠肺炎的爆发和菲利普亲王的去世。她在接受《每日星报》采访时表示，明年皇室家族将发生巨大变化，女王将在年中从公众视野中消失，而等待许久的查尔斯终于如愿登上王位，卡米拉则将继承王妃的头衔。


但黛比透露查尔斯登基后不会“坐太久”，只会维持几个月左右，然后就会交出权力。她解释说:“我看到查尔斯王子的任期很短，但我不知道为什么，因为我没看到他的死亡或者其他事情。我只是觉得他和卡米拉都不适合这个角色。查尔斯很享受现在的生活，但我觉得他并不喜欢在人生的这个阶段扮演这个角色。”


这位灵媒还大胆地宣称，查尔斯王子与他的伯祖父爱德华八世性格非常相似，他也会像爱德华国王一样在登基后不到一年就放弃了王位。

她接着说: “当我看到查尔斯和卡米拉时，查尔斯是一个感情用事的人，这是他在担任国王时的弱点，你需要比这更坚强。”

据称查尔斯王子在经历一段过渡时期后可能会挺身而出，将王位传给威廉王子，而女王知道威廉和凯特非常适合他们即将承担的角色,这也令她欣慰。

黛比还认为，威廉王子比查尔斯王子更适合国王这个角色，威廉所接受的教育让他非常适合这份工作，他将会成为一位出色的国王。


她补充说道，“威廉将是英国历史上最好的国王，他是百分百适合这个角色的人，从他出生那一刻就开始了，他的每一步都有妈妈在身边。而凯特也会很好地演绎自己的角色，她是这个角色的完美人选”。
