The United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth just 
bestowed a major honor onto Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
 In  a letter marking her "Platinum Jubilee," which is the 70th anniversary  of the Queen’s accession to the throne, the matriarch of the royal  family shared her hope for Camilla’s future within the royal family.  Camilla wed the Queen’s son, Prince Charles, in 2005.
 “When, in  the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give  him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me,” she  wrote. “[It] is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will  be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”
 “Queen  consort” is a title given to a woman who becomes queen via marriage to  the king, while Queen Elizabeth, who became Queen at 25 when her father  King George VI passed, is known as queen regent.

 Queen Elizabeth’s late husband Prince Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, was 
not eligible for the male version of the title due to British parliamentary rules. 
Prince Philip passed away in April 2021 at age 99.
 The  Queen also used the letter to share a warm message about her late  partner, writing, "I was blessed that in Prince Philip I had a partner  willing to carry out the role of consort and unselfishly make the  sacrifices that go with it. It is a role I saw my own mother perform  during my father's reign."
 Upon the passing of Prince Charles, Prince William will become king, and his wife Kate Middleton queen regent.
 Camilla  is Prince Charles’ second wife. He officially divorced from Princess  Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry, in 1996.
 In a 1995 BBC interview, Diana — who had a challenging relationship with the royal family — stated that she 
had no desire to become queen, explaining, “I’d like to be a queen of people’s hearts, but I don’t see myself being queen of this country.”
