Camilla Parker Bowles refused the title of the Princess of Wales after she wed Prince Charles because it previously belonged to Princess Diana.

Royal fans were very particular about the move because Prince Charles and Camilla had an affair while the former was still married to the Princess of Wales. As such, even after Princess Diana’s death, many royal fans wanted to make sure that Camilla won’t inherit the title.

But a royal expert claimed that Prince Charles would most likely insist on Camilla being called Princess of Wales, especially after he becomes king.

On the online forum site Quora, royal fan Susan Lord Williams said that Camilla shouldn’t be called Princess of Wales.

“Diana was Princess of Wales until her divorce. Technically, Camilla is the Princess of Wales now as she is married to Prince Charles… As the consort of the King, Camilla will be the Queen Consort when Charles ascends to the throne,” she said.

Williams also said that she doesn’t understand what the big fuss is all about. After all, Princess Diana lost all of her titles when she divorced Prince Charles. And when Camilla wed Prince Charles, she inherited all of the female counterparts of his titles.

Marla Lynn, who enjoys the evolution of the royal family, said that she doesn’t think Camilla should be referred to as the Princess of Wales.

“The title the Princess of Wales, and later Queen, belonged to Diana and most likely would have continued to be hers if not for Camilla… But who knows, maybe fate intended for things to turn out this way,” she said.

Eileen Wood, a Republican since 1977, said that no matter what royal fans say, Camilla will definitely become Princess of Wales and Queen one day. After all, Princess Diana has already been dead for decades. And even if she’s still alive, she is no longer legally married to Prince Charles, the future King.
