The Coronation events have been, as far as the King is concerned, very much a joint affair. Queen Camilla was centre stage throughout. During the service itself he ensured that she would be anointed as Queen, as his grandmother and great-grandmother were; that ceremony, unlike his, was in public view. Buckingham Palace has intimated that after the Coronation Camilla should be known as “the Queen” rather than the Queen Consort; the late Queen had said that it was her sincere wish that Camilla should be known as Queen Consort. And at the time of their wedding, the public was told that she would never have the title.
