Was it Prince Andrew?
I’m not surprised. My mum would tell me stories about dodging creepy old men on the train when going to school in the 50s. She seemed to accept it as just one of those things and I’m sitting there with my GenX sensibilities thinking yikes!
She had a hard life. All of them had really hard lives. I’m so glad we have round the clock coverage on them
Would you have left this comment if it was someone else talking about their near encounter with a sexual assailant?
No, I feel that the dangers that regular people face everyday should be talked about more. I just don’t think that the rich and powerful, who are class predators of a sort, should be viewed as victims of society with the same attention as those who are victims of both.
If a sheep gets mauled by a bear - sound the main alarm.
If the wolf, that hunts the sheep, gets mauled by a bear - sound a different alarm.
The queen consort.
Both are correct terms.
That consort tittle only applied pre corranation.
Once the King was coronated, King is considered the highest position. So Camilla became Queen.
No. She is still Queen Consort.
Calling her “Queen” and “Queen Consort” before and after the coronation were both correct.
Officially, “Queen Consort” was used before the coronation to avoid confusion with Elizabeth II. After the coronation they saw it as fair game to start referring to Camilla as Queen, which had always been historically done with the likes of Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Queen Mary of Teck. And chess.
For example, Prince Philip was “Prince Consort”. But nobody ever called him that.
Ohh my apologies! Tbh the whole situation is very ambiguous really isn’t it? I thought she was officially known as the ‘queen-consort’ because she married into the royal family.
She’s Queen Consort in comparison to a Sovereign Queen, which Elizabeth II was. She isn’t the monarch, but holds titles as such (for example, addressed as “Her Majesty”, signs off as Camilla R, etc)
Queen Regnant is the reigning version of a queen.
Except Charles ruled an end to the term Consort as out dated when he was Corrinated.
Paraphrased seriously
The word Consort has negative historical conections within the family. IE as a sex partner rather then a real spose. As Queen Regent Vs Queen already separated a sovereign from a kings wife. While Prince is used for a Queen Regents Husband. He ruled the Royal family. Using consort was not appropriate in this century.
My personal Guess Camila disliked the term. And honestly I would not blame her.
Historically, Consort hasn’t really been used.
Can you provide a source on him “banning” it?
It was used to differentiate it from the late Queen. Although, I can see why charles would discourage it as comments keep appearing everywhere saying “Queen Consort*” because of the vile, vitriolic hatred against Her Majesty.
Simple Google search on why Camila is not consort will confirm it.
Consort has not historically been used for the exact reason I indicated. In Pre Stuart time. More Pre Henry 8th. As he was more deeply religious then most kings before him. Hence the divorces and CofE. It was common as a tittle for the kings Favourite Courtly female.
