    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.
