Camilla Entitled To Becoming Queen When Prince Charles Becomes King, Professor Says

Camilla Parker Bowles should be queen when Prince Charles becomes the new king, says one professor.

Camilla will apparently have the role in the legal sense once Prince Charles takes over the throne when Queen Elizabeth II passes away or abdicates. "Permission for the marriage was given by the Privy Council in March 2005, under the Royal Marriages Act 1772. This cannot be any longer in dispute. So when he accedes to the throne, [Camilla] will be the wife of the King," Professor Pavlos Eleftheriadis told Daily Star (via Express). "The wife of a head of state is not a joint head of state, however. The Sovereign reigns on his or her own. In that sense, Camilla will be a 'Queen' in the limited legal sense of being the wife of the sovereign."

"She cannot be forced to be called 'Queen Consort', but her role as the wife of the King is, by definition, that of Queen," he added. "This is, however, a very limited role, which need not involve the use of the title 'Queen'. It is clear that Camilla is the wife of Prince Charles, the future sovereign. The civil ceremony was valid."

In related news, former Buckingham palace spokesperson Dickie Arbiter is confident that Camilla will make a great queen. According to him, the Duchess of Cornwall is used to dealing with people and their problems due to her first marriage. She also complimented Camilla trait of being inquisitive, interest in meeting people and good sense of humor.

"She's inquisitive so she'll ask probing questions," Arbiter said. "She's interested so she'll listen and won't look over shoulders to see if there's someone more important and interesting, and she'll talk because she likes meeting people which makes her a good communicator, at ease talking to people from all walks of life whether a head of state or just chatting on walkabouts. She also has a good sense of fun and humour."

Meanwhile, Prince Charles may choose another name when he takes over the monarchy. The Prince of Wales is unlikely to become King Charles III as he may use one of his middle names when he takes over the kingship.
