Camilla set for major change to her title after King Charles’ Coronation
CAMILLA is ready to ditch consort from her title and be known as just Queen after Charles’s coronation.
Aides are also planning a role for her grandchildren at May’s ceremony.
When Camilla, 75, married Charles in 2005, it was widely assumed she would never be called Queen when he took the throne.
Officials announced she would be known as Queen Consort, even though it had no royal precedent.
But insiders are confident she has won round the public, who had blamed her for the demise of Charles’s marriage to Diana.
Camilla’s grandchildren are said to call her by the family nickname GaGa.

A source said of their key role: “It sends a nice signal and is quite a bold move.
“It is another example of the King and Queen Consort being unafraid to shake things up a bit.”
Buckingham Palace has said the coronation “will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry”.
