No more meal-time tantrums! Start to ENJOY family dinners again with these delicious 20-minute ideas everyone will love Loose Women star Carol McGiffin is forced to quit the show in row over Covid conspiracy views after bizarre radio rant SHANE WATSON: Penny Mordaunt (and her brolly carriers) lead the fashion parade of Tory powerhouses at the Coronation Piers Morgan slams 'PATHETIC' Liverpool fans who booed God Save the King after the national anthem was drowned out ahead of Reds' 1-0 win Or will her elevation be seen as a bridge too far - a King putting his personal feelings ahead of his historic duty to the Crown, and in so doing eroding not just his personal capital, but that of the monarchy? Will her anointment change people’s minds? Will her new title see her automatically rise in the public’s estimation? I have no doubt that had he been allowed to marry her in the first place, things would have turned out very differently.īut he wasn’t, and he didn’t, and there are still some who, while delighted to see him so happy, are not entirely convinced of Camilla’s right to be Queen. She is the one of the best things that ever happened to Charles. There is no doubt in my mind that Camilla is a remarkable woman - warm, kind, sincere, intelligent, and all-round fabulous. It suggests that the King still has some persuading to do.
Interestingly, at 39 per cent the new Queen doesn’t rank too high either (the late Princess Diana, by contrast, is at 63 per cent), which worries me. In fact, as the Mail’s publication of Lord Ashcroft’s fascinating survey into the British people’s attitude to the Royal Family shows, the only member of the family less popular than the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (22 and 18 per cent approval respectively) is Prince Andrew (seven per cent). There are still some who, while delighted to see him so happy, are not entirely convinced of Camilla’s right to be Queen. Nor the fact that he’s paid a high price for it. Whatever you think of his behaviour, there’s no denying his commitment and loyalty to his wife. Not just the late Queen’s uncle but also her father, Bertie, who proposed twice to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon before finally succeeding on his third attempt.Īnd then, of course, there’s Prince Harry, who has sacrificed his own life as a royal on the altar of his marriage. It’s testament to his tenacity as an individual but also to the power of his love for her.īut then he’s a Windsor man, and most Windsor men are, at heart, hopeless romantics. People talk about the younger royals modernising the institution but what Charles has done is little short of revolutionary. The idea that Charles could not only wed Camilla, but also retain his royal title and elevate her accordingly is extraordinary. Only one heir to the British throne has ever married a divorcee, and it cost him his crown.Įdward VIII died in exile as the Duke of Windsor, and not even on his deathbed could he persuade his niece, the late Queen Elizabeth II, to at least confer a minor title on his widow, Wallis Simpson. There was a time, not very long ago, that such a thing would have been unthinkable. It’s a remarkable achievement when you think about it. It is, in many ways, the ultimate romantic gesture from a man who has, if you believe in the divine right of kings, moved heaven and earth to bring about this moment. The moment the Archbishop of Canterbury places Queen Mary’s crown on Camilla’s head will be the one she is finally, unequivocally confirmed as legitimate.
She is and always was his queen - even when he was married to someone else
In Charles’s mind - and heart - that is no less than she deserves. She is and always was his queen - even when he was married to someone else. Given the inclusive nature of the proceedings, and the fact that - compared to similar events in the past - the whole thing has been made much less formal, it may seem an arcane anomaly that Camilla will be fully crowned and anointed, in a ceremony of her own, as Her Majesty the Queen.īut in Charles’s mind - and heart - that is no less than she deserves. It’s the fact that the ceremony will see the culmination of King Charles’s unwavering quest to ensure the woman he loves is acknowledged as Queen, not just in the eyes of God and the Church, but also in front of the entire world.

It’s not just the dress code (hats and fascinators yes, tiaras and ermine no) and the celebrity guest list ( Ant and Dec, Lionel Richie, TV magician Dynamo, British Vogue editor Edward Enninful, Kelly Jones, the lead singer of Stereophonics). Maybe it’s just me, but the more I read about the arrangements for Saturday, the less it seems like a Coronation and the more it feels like a wedding.
