Does Prince William have to bow to Camilla now?

There’s a pecking order of who bows or curtsies to whom. Prob Harry does since he’s not even titled anymore. But I hope at least William doesn’t have to bow to the homewrecker turned Queen consort. Does he outrank her since he is in direct royal succession?

Yes the little ginger prick does
Homewrecker?
There was more to it than that.
Camilla was always Charles's first and great love.

Due to the laws at the time, he had to marry a virgin and could not marry a divorcee.
Charles's uncle, the Earl Mountbatten, found Lady Diana, the only virgin of age among the aristocracy of England. He arranged the meeting and obliged Charles to court and marry her. Charles felt no attraction to or liking for her. The courtship was a pretence - the seduction of a guileless innocent.
Diana was in many ways abused.
Discovering the truth, and coming to terms with it, led to her release from the marriage and her discovery of life a purpose in campaigning on behalf of the victims of wars.

The changes to the laws of marriage for the monarch meant Charles was finally able to marry the one person who had always been his best match.
Henry VIII created the Church of England precisely so he could marry whom he pleased. He did it like a tyrant and for all the wrong reasons - but how could be have known that his low fertility was his fault? The medics of the time had no understanding of such specialties.
We can be thankful that at least now some degree of basic civility and kindness can contribute to the marriages of English royals (as has been the case for scores of years in other European monarchies.

William outranks her as The Prince Heir Apparent. He signed the proclamation second after his Dad showing his place in the privy Council pecking order above Queen Consort.

BTW Harry is now The Prince Harry as he is the monarch's child, and Harry's kids are automatically Prince and Princess now as Grandchildren of the monarch. Those happened the moment the Queen passed away.

Not sure. Maybe. Harry still has his titles. No one but the Queen, and now the King can take them away, and so far that hasn’t happened. They were told when they left Britain that they could keep HRH, but not use them before their names, so instead of HRH Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, the HRH is omitted. Same for his wife.

Really? I thought he was not to be addressed as prince or as a duke of anything anymore. @Carissimi
Carissimi · F
No. He will always be a prince by birth. He could be stripped of his Dukedom by his father, but I doubt Charles will do that unless he or his wife do something unforgivable, in the eyes of his father. @NiftyWhite

She’s Queen consort though so i hope he does not have to bow to her
NiftyWhite · 46-50, F
I think he actually does. Before he didn’t unless she was in the company of Charles. @Jenny1234 But I think now he has to.

@NiftyWhite has to or what?
NiftyWhite · 46-50, F
It’s a good question idk what happens if you don’t, I’m sure it’s considered a personal disrespect otherwise @Tastyfrzz and would cause even more tension. I’m not from the UK so I have no idea.

Oh, he does. But here's an even more frightening fact. Even though dear old Charlie cheated on his wife and got caught at it, he's now head of the Church of England.
NiftyWhite · 46-50, F
Meh. The church itself is corrupt everyone knows that. Wasn’t The Church of England born out of disregard for holy values? Lol. But Diana’s kids have to bow to the “woman” who was complicit in tormenting and isolating their mother from the family. One of them will be future king and she’s a rat.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@LordShadowfire but look at how and why the Church of England was created. A total farce
