Will Camilla be Queen? Written: Feb. 19, 2019 - When Queen Elizabeth dies, her son, Prince Charles is next in line to be King. What has yet to be decided is if his wife, Camilla, will be queen once he becomes King. Parliament has the ability to change the title of anyone in the royal family. Even if she does become Queen, she doesn't necessarily have to go by that title. As of right now, she goes by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, which means she has married into the royal family, not born into it. This will most likely be decided in the near future due to the Queen's growing age. - https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/royalssociety/camilla-parker-bowles-prince-charles-will-she-be-queen-a4069831.html

Will Camilla be Queen?

When Queen Elizabeth dies, her son, Prince Charles is next in line to be King. What has yet to be decided is if his wife, Camilla, will be queen once he becomes King. Parliament has the ability to change the title of anyone in the royal family. Even if she does become Queen, she doesn't necessarily have to go by that title. As of right now, she goes by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, which means she has married into the royal family, not born into it. This will most likely be decided in the near future due to the Queen's growing age.
