ROYAL CORONATION INVITATION REVEALD CAMILLA’S NEW TITLE
Apart from its beautiful design and many family nods, the official coronation invitation revealed Queen Consort Camilla‘s new title ahead of the crowning on 6 May.
“The Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla – By Command of the King the Earl Marshall is directed to invite…to be present at the Abbey Church of Westminster on 6th day of May 2023,” the invitation reads.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, a senior Palace source said: “It made sense to refer to Her Majesty as The Queen Consort in the early months of His Majesty’s reign, to distinguish from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”
“‘Queen Camilla’ is the appropriate title to set against ‘King Charles’ on the invitation. The Coronation is an appropriate time to start using ‘Queen Camilla’ in an official capacity. All former Queen Consorts have been known as ‘Queen’ plus their first name,” the source said.
According to The Sun, Buckingham Palace will update Camilla’s title on the royal website next month, after the coronation.
