Queen Camilla?
Camilla's popularity with the public is on the up. Should she, when the time comes, become Queen?
Personally, I think she's doing a good job so I would be happy to see her take her place beside Charles as his queen. What say you?

Yes, she has paid her dues, completed the course and passed with flying colours.

Hoppy "in line to the Greek throne". And just what "throne" would that be? His family didn't even live in Greece.
"Would Prince Phillip be heir to the Greek throne?
No. Philip is a UK citizen and renounced his former titles and allegiance prior to marrying then-Princess Elizabeth.
Even if he had not, his father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, was the 4th son (and 7th child) of King George I of Greece. The succession passed through George’s oldest son, Constantine I. All three of Constantine’s sons eventually became King of Greece.

Maggie, I accept that Philip would not have have inherited the Greek throne.
However at his birth, he was indeed sixth in line to the Greek throne.

The monarchy is rooted totally and absolutely in tradition.
That is why the idea of Charles 'passing the throne' to William will never even be considered, it is not the protocol, so it won't happen.
It's safe to say that Charles will inherit the throne and remain there until his death, when William will take over.
We can;t know what will happen then - William may have other ideas for the succession, or even for the monarchy, but for the living heirs at this time, everything is laid down and will follow the tradition.
As for Camilla being Queen, if the protocol allows for it, I don't think it will be an issue for the people.
Camilla has fought, and won, a seriously uphill battle to win the popularity she now enjoys, it would be unreasonable to deny her the role at her husband's side that tradition indicates is hers by right.

maggie - // The Queen, Prince Charles, Princess Margaret, William, Harry, Anne, Edward and Andrew all married "commoners" ... //
Camilla is a 'commoner' but Diana was not - quite the opposite.
The Spencers can trace their family line directly back to Henry VIII - in the terms of ancestry, she was actually more 'royal' than Charles.

AH, "The Spencers can trace their family line directly back to Henry VIII - in the terms of ancestry, she was actually more 'royal' than Charles. " - well you have excelled yourself there Andy, Charles has a direct bloodline back to William I, I'd be interested in your justification for that statement.
I suspect Charles will be an interfering old buzzard when he's king - but if the job is his right, then that's irrelevant. There's no way he's going to abdicate in favour of his son, he's been waiting too long.
But what does anyone know about whether William would be any good? He's not had the years of training, and he might turn out to be useless.
