Buckingham Palace is likely to “quietly” drop “Consort” from Queen Camilla’s title as King Charles gears up for the coronation, a news report has stated. The Telegraph has claimed that the move will be taken during the time between now and the coronation.
The coronation of King Charles III will take place in May 2023.
According to the news report, an exception has so far been made for Camilla, who has willingly taken the title of Queen Consort as a mark of respect for public opinion following her marriage into the Royal Family in 2005.
A source told the publication that those around the King and Queen Consort are already “very relaxed” about the public and press choosing to ignore their chosen formal title for the simpler “Queen Camilla”.
Over the next few months, the Telegraph stated that they will read the public appetite for “Queen Camilla” to be formally adopted in time for the coronation.
Former consorts in modern history, including the Queen Mother, have been called by the simpler title of Queen plus their Christian name: Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary and Queen Alexandra.
A source told the publication that it would be continuing to use the title in its formal communications, which currently includes the Court Circular, all written messages, and operational notes about her engagements.
In the order of service for the late Queen’s funeral last month, the royal couple were recorded in the procession as “The King” and “The Queen Consort”.
The title was set by Queen Elizabeth II in February when a message on the 70th anniversary of her own accession saw her spell out her support for her daughter-in-law.

At the time of her marriage to the Prince of Wales in 2005, Buckingham Palace insisted she would be styled as “Princess Consort” when her husband is King, in the same way she chose to use her Duchess title rather than the controversial “Princess of Wales”.
When asked on US television in 2010 if she would become Queen, Prince Charles replied: “That’s, well…we’ll see, won’t we? That could be.”
Buckingham Palace has already confirmed that the Queen Consort will be crowned alongside her husband at the Coronation on May 6.
