Royal and noble titles and styles
Styles of Queen Camilla | |
---|---|
![]() The Queen’s royal cypher | |
Reference style | Her Majesty |
Spoken style | Your Majesty |
- 17 July 1947 – 4 July 1973: Miss Camilla Rosemary Shand[1]
- 4 July 1973 – 3 March 1995: Mrs Andrew Parker Bowles[2][3]
- 3 March 1995 – 9 April 2005: Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles[4][5]
- 9 April 2005 – 8 September 2022: Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall[6]
- In Scotland: 9 April 2005 – 8 September 2022: Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Rothesay[6]
- 8 September 2022 – 6 May 2023: Her Majesty The Queen Consort[7]
- 6 May 2023 – Present: Her Majesty The Queen
- 6 May 2023 – Present: Her Majesty Queen Camilla
Upon marrying Charles, Camilla's full title became "Her Royal Highness The Princess Charles Phillip Arthur George, Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay, Countess of Chester, Countess of Carrick, Baroness of Renfrew, Lady of the Isles, Princess of Scotland".[8] She was commonly styled "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall". In Scotland she was known as "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Rothesay".[6]
Although Camilla was legally Princess of Wales, she adopted the feminine form of her husband's highest-ranking subsidiary title, Duke of Cornwall, because the title "Princess of Wales" had become strongly associated with Charles's first wife, Diana.[9][10] In 2021, upon the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Charles inherited his father's titles,[11] and Camilla thus became Duchess of Edinburgh, Countess of Merioneth and Baroness Greenwich.[12]
When Charles III succeeded his mother, Elizabeth II, as king, Camilla automatically became queen in accordance with English common law.[13][14][15] Clarence House however stated on the occasion of their wedding in 2005 that she would adopt the style of a princess consort instead of queen consort,[16] but there is no legal or historical precedent for such a title.[17] In her 2022 Accession Day message, published to mark the 70th anniversary of her reign, Elizabeth II stated that it was her "sincere wish" for Camilla to be known as queen consort upon Charles's accession to the throne.[18]
Camilla has been styled "Her Majesty The Queen Consort" since the official statement released by Buckingham Palace announcing the death of Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022.[19] When conversing with the Queen, the correct etiquette is to address her initially as Your Majesty and thereafter as Ma'am (pronounced /mæm/, with a short 'a' as in jam).[20] Although thus far she has been referred to as "Queen Consort" in statements and briefings from Buckingham Palace, as the wife of the king, she is entitled to be referred to as "Her Majesty The Queen", which is her legal title.[21] Historically, queens regnant and queen consorts alike have been referred to as "The Queen" during their incumbency.[22][23]
