I thought of going to see the King's Coronation, but I remembered Diana and I refrained.

There's only one Queen of England now...


Riemann · 31-35, M
@HootyTheNightOwl I too wanted to change my profile pic to honour her memory.
I was too young when she passed away but the impact of her work is so powerful that even I can feel that.
@Riemann I did mine more in protest.

They always said that Camilla was going to be Queen Consort - which she technically is (because she is not of the Royal bloodline) but it would have been nice to see the "Consort" part of the title highlighted more in the likes of the coronation invitations.

The Royal family is a big part of our history - and I think that it's important to highlight the consorts... Prince Phillip had it clearly marked that he was not King - he remained a Prince his entire life... so, why are the Queens any different???

And, yes, I would have still wanted that differentiation if Diana was made Queen Consort instead. For me, I think that it's important to make it clear which is of Royal descent and which is not simply because the Royal family tree can make for confusing reading at times - especially as time goes on and you're really digging into the family history.
