Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?
Watch this postAs the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary today, has Camilla won us all over with her style, substance and support?
Ten years ago 7% of the British public thought Camilla should be queen. In a similar poll 10 years later 50% of those polled said they now think Camilla should be queen when Prince Charles comes to the throne.
The past decade has seen perceptions of the former Camilla Parker Bowles transformed to a valued member of the royal “firm” whom half the nation would accept as queen.
It would appear that Prince Charles would like her to be crowned with him by his side and also that Prince William and Prince Harry have accepted her role.
What are your views? Has Camilla won over your heart?

Genetic Engineering is a reasonable new area exploring diseases and how genes can be be manipulated to help prevent or modify certain diseases, but the risks as well as the benefits to its use have to be acknowledged because of the risk off unintended outcomes.
I heard Charles himself state he talked to trees and to his plants when he was being interviewed many year ago, most serious gardeners I know do. The fact the news media choose to ridiculed him said more about them than him and too many people like to be critical of things they them self either do not understand or dislike.
I am a strong supporter of our Royals and know they have brought a great deal to this country and I also have a great respect for King Charles, at least he cares for the the people despite his hands being tied and which is more than can be said for this present government with a Prime Minster who is richer than the King!
As to speeches etc. now he is King he has to rein in what he would possible of said previously. However he is head of the Commonwealth but that is more an important symbolic and unifying role.
Arguing and questioning the right of King Charles marrying the woman he always loved and making her his Queen really doesn't have an effect on my daily life. I just object to comments that are made against someone without real knowledge of facts.
If he didnt want to Marry he should have grown a pair and said No and followed in the steps of his uncle then we would still have a monarchy to be admired instead of the joke its turned into
I believe 20 she was a very young and she was used by Charles
King Charles never in my eyes
Camilla may well be a nice woman, but definitely not a Queen
I am glad he is King, he will be devoted his role as was his mother.
have your beliefs and I will have mine
Charles isn't worthy of the title king and I like many more will certainly not look up to or respect unlike his mother our late Queen

When asked about persistent adultery with Camilla he replied the Mrs Parker-Bowles was just a great friend along with many other friends.
Who can forget his 'whatever in love means' with his 19 Yr old bride to be standing right next to him

The beautiful Diana will always be queen of hearts and thank god the majority have not forgotten her for the wonderful person and mother that she was
hes not King material roll on William with queen Kate quicker the better
And most of the public do seem to be against the King and Camillion that have been crowned
but was there to "play with "
Queen Elizabeth II specified publicly that Camilla should be known as Queen Consort once Charles acceded to the throne. At no time did she waver from this.
Charles has throughout his life, ignored his mother, his subjects and advisors. Once again a little stamping of feet has been heard and he gets his own way again. But is it his way, or hers? Queen. Camilla?
His uncle and Mrs Simpson must be turning in their graves recalling what they were put through.
Is Charles so insecure he can’t make up his own mind? Every public event has Camilla in the picture even when she should not be.
And then there’s the complications of position and title should Charles die before she does. Now it starts to get really complicated and needs the input of a royal expert.
Should have let William be the next king.
Thank you.
As one follow Silversurfer stated King Charles and Queen Camila are obviously devoted to each other therefore it made perfect sense.
It is a shame the King did not hold ground to marry her way back when, many things would have not occurred. With Queen Camilla being crowned, I do not understand why Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was made the King.
I’m not sure that we have fully achieved equality (and is this mad PC world where there are 76 genders how will we ever know) but things have changed much for the better.
It was lovely to read your comments Scarlett3665 - such a refreshing change from some of the vitriolic and just plain nasty comments about our new King and Queen. I’m sure they will make a brilliant job of serving this country and the Commonwealth.
the money thats been spent trying to sell her to the british public and all cosmetic surgery to get rid of the horse face hasnt worked
What kind of example is to make a mistress the queen of a nation?Disgracefull.
