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?

Charles should have never been allowed to marry Camilla. In history Royals were not allowed to marry divorcees they had to abdicate the throne.
If anyone believes that Charles and Camilla were not carrying on behind Diana's back you are sadly mistaken.
I felt so sorry for Diana she was an amazing woman who did a lot for people and society.
William would be a better choice to be King.
When Queen Elizabeth II died she wrote a letter to Charles to nominate Charles as King and said that Camilla should be known as Queen Consort only..
Do not crown Camilla Queen.

Opinions generally were, that the Queen manifested genuine royal character in her sense of duty, faithfulness and grace.
Nobody that I spoke to would have imputed these noble traits to Charles and Camilla.
We shall have to wait and see, but I wouldn't be surprised if the forthcoming coronation would be the first indication of a monarchy in the first throes of death.

neither are fit to be crowned no morals and a King and Queen should be someone you look up to so it certainly isn't either of them
NO NO NO
When Queen Victoria was reigning her husband Albert was was Prince Consort not King Consort so why should Camilla be elevated to Queen?
She also has a good reputation for being open and down to earth.

As an Australian, i know little about her, her former marital status or what type of person she may be.
All said, I think the monarchy will be obsolete within 50 years. The Queen was a lovely lady who held it all together during the most trying of circumstances, My parents died long ago, and I can't help that part of their values died with their generation - I think the Queen may have been the last bastion,

End of in MY opinion
The thought of Camilla being styled as queen is an insult to the title. She performs adequately as a duchess and seems a suitable wife but to elevate her status further seems entirely inappropriate as she has no birthright to the title and has not earned the respect of someone who should be given the title.
This move in my opinion, is purely for Charles pleasure and is the nail in the coffin of the monarchy. Sadly the title of queen is irreparably tarnished

I couldn't agree more.
I think that for many of us, the Monarchy died with the Queen anyway.

It is difficult to compare anyone with the late Queen and it seems a little unfair to label those who are destined to follow in her shoes as being less able.
