Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla will play a key role in Queen Elizabeth's upcoming Jubilee celebrations, according to palace sources.
, the Queen has taken a rare back seat. But her decision to make it known that she wants Camilla to be queen means she is making plans for the future as she prepares to celebrate her historic Platinum Jubilee.
While she used the announcement to reaffirm her vow that she will serve for the rest of her life, thus ending any talk of retirement or abdication, it is clear that the transition and the future is at the forefront of the monarchy’s thinking. This Jubilee will be as much about the next reign as it will be about celebrating the Queen’s remarkable 70 years on the throne.
Her request that Camilla be known as Queen Consort comes just weeks after Buckingham Palace announced in its New Year’s honours list that Camilla has been made a Lady of the Order of the Garter, the greatest accolade the Queen can bestow on a family member. Other royal women, including the Queen Mother, had to wait until their husbands were on the throne before this happened.
Those who know the couple say that she has also had a positive effect on Charles, making him a happier and more relaxed person who is still a workaholic but spends more time with his family these days.
