Talk:Queen Camilla

Hi, does anyone know if there's another picture we can use at the top of the article? I'm new to editing Wikipedia, and I'm not sure of the guidelines surrounding photos, but I was thinking any official photo of her since she became queen would work better than the current one from 2019.

This title is wrong, she is Queen Consot 2001:56A:F9F8:B700:59DE:14B3:E72A:4F5C (talk) 18:58, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

:That is incorrect. Queen Consort is her job description. Her title is Queen Camilla. Sentimental Dork (talk) 20:05, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

::I know this obviously has consensus, just out of interest why does the lead say she is queen of the United Kingdom and not queen consort (while actually linking to queen consort)? Yeshivish613 (talk) 19:04, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

:::To fall in line with every other consort in British royal history. A kings consort is the queen of that country. Camilla is the consort to King Charles, who is king of the United Kingdom, so as his consort that makes her Queen of the United Kingdom. A kings consort is not addressed as "Queen Consort" but merely "Queen". 92.29.201.105 (talk) 14:09, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:Buckingham Palace and news sources began calling her "Queen Camilla" after the coronation. During discussion at the time, no one was able to find any legislation or other laws prescribing her title. The article therefore defaults to the title that is used. TFD (talk) 21:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

::The King decides these things (not Wikipedians), so if Buckingham Palace calls her that, that's it. There is no default involved. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:01, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

:::This is the correct answer. Sentimental Dork (talk) 07:13, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

:She is Her Majesty The Queen. She is referred to as The Queen. She was briefly titled The Queen Consort so that she would not be confused with Elizabeth II. On Coronation Day, she therefrom officially was referred to as Her Majesty The Queen, which has been the title used for nearly every wife of a British king. Yes, she is the consort to the king, thus making her a queen consort, but her title is The Queen. Rexophile (talk) 02:32, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:At this point we have to add an FAQ addressing this issue to the top of the talk page. Personally I'm getting sick of regurgitating the same thing over and over again. Keivan.f^Talk 17:22, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

::Not exactly an FAQ, but I added some information in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Queen_Camilla&diff=1278152023&oldid=1277982412| this edit]. Rexophile (talk) 19:33, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Thank you! Sentimental Dork (talk) 19:42, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

:::I did not find that edit helpful, sorry. She's still a queen consort. The change that happened was concerning her title not position. Additionally, we don't want to have detailed info on her titles in the lede; it's already packed. An FAQ would have been fine to prevent the reopening of another thread on this page and it's common practice (ex. Talk:Hillary Clinton). Keivan.f^Talk 20:35, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

::::I know shes a queen consort. I was just trying to provide on how she is not The Queen Consort (any longer, at least).. Rexophile (talk) 20:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::I understand but our job is not to spoon feed the readers. There's already enough information available on this article and the page on her titles for anyone who wishes to educate themselves on what her titles are. The posts on the talk page are sometimes the result of contempt that some people feel for the subject regardless of what her status is and they occasionally are tantamount to trolling.

Change title to queen CONSORT. She is not the Queen of England. She does not come from the royal line or bare any nobility. 2600:1702:74A1:9D30:140D:F1F7:3138:153C (talk) 12:13, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
