@CB750Nighthawk @Jenny_1884 She is Queen Consort. Queen Elizabeth II was Queen REGNANT. Both are titled Queen. When the monarch is male, his wife is The Queen. When the monarch is female she is The Queen. Been the same for centuries, all the wives of kings were Queen Consort, Queen+first name and The Queen

I don’t know how anyone else feels but calling Camilla “Our Queen” doesn’t feel right. Queen Elizabeth was our Queen.

@pictureladyjan But also can’t reply to any replies to someone who blocked me, is that new, or was it just not apparent before?

It seems that accounts you’ve blocked may now be able to see your public posts but can’t comment on them. Just in time for the US election. I’ve just come across an account which blocked me and I could see a post, but not reply.

@JohnLewisEU Depends which timezone you are in, UK time may as well go to bed, won’t be many real results before breakfast

What's the earliest we get to find out if sanity has prevailed? Asking for the free world

@andystilp @simonmayo Depends on whether or not you are saying 'comma' in a British accent 🤔

@simonmayo Newsreaders: it’s COMMA-la (not ka-MOLL-uh)

@hilldaniel @gifford_head @legalstyleblog @tc1415 @JasonLoch @RMBFLK @MagnaAulae There isn't a difference. The wife of the King is Queen Consort, titled Queen and The Queen through his reign. A female monarch would be Queen Regnant, also titled Queen. Neither Regnant nor Consort form part of the title or form of address, just Queen for either type

@gifford_head @legalstyleblog @tc1415 @JasonLoch @RMBFLK @MagnaAulae Thanks -- did Camilla become Queen, or merely Queen Consort, then, on the death of the late Queen?

AI says 'Camilla became Queen Camilla on May 6, 2023, when she was crowned alongside her husband [...] However, she had been Queen Consort since September 8, 2022, when Queen Elizabeth II died'. Is this true? @legalstyleblog @tc1415 @JasonLoch @gifford_head @RMBFLK @MagnaAulae

@isabellbowcrisp She IS Queen Consort (wife of king), as such the title is Queen (same as ALL previous Queens Consort). A female monarch, like QEII is a Queen Regnant, also titled Queen. Through the reign of a king, his wife is The Queen, Through the reign of Queen Regnant, she is The Queen

@margaretcheal1 Queen Consort is not a 'name' or a title, it's a position, the wife of a king. The title is Queen. When QEII said she wanted Camilla to be 'known as Queen Consort' she was asking for her to be the same as any other wife of a king (having had an alternative title as wife of PofW)

Queen Consort was the name requested by the late Queen Elizabeth for Camilla.

@Petrie_JohnC @PippaCrerar Shrewd move by both, playing the long game

@PippaCrerar Nothing for Tom Tugendhat - did he turn her down? Cleverly and Tugendhat outside the shadow cabinet does not bode well for Badenoch.

NEW: Kemi Badenoch announces full shadow cabinet 👇🏼 Shadow chancellor Mel Stride FCDO Priti Patel Home Chris Philp CDL Alex Burghart Defence James Cartlidge Justice Robert Jenrick Education Laura Trott Health Ed Argar Housing Kevin Hollinrake Defra Victoria Atkins Biz & Trade Andrew Griffith Net Zero & Equalities Claire Coutinho DWP Helen Whately Transport Gareth Bacon DCMS Stuart Andrew Science & Tech Alan Mak Scotland Andrew Bowie Wales Mims Davies Chief Whip Rebecca Harris Commons leader Jesse Norman Lords leader Lord True Tory chairs Nigel Huddleston & Lord Johnson Chief sec Richard Fuller

@MikeTho04795078 @PippaCrerar Shadow has to shadow the Government depts

@PippaCrerar On a day when Wind + Solar are making 1GW Of the 37GW of electricity the UK is consuming, Today would have been a good day for Kemi to drop the title: Dept of Net Zero And replace with simple: ‘Energy’

@KateEMcCann Christmas came early for @YvetteCooperMP

NEW: Chris Philp is the shadow Home Secretary

@KateEMcCann Philp vs Cooper. Like Morecambe vs Liverpool.

Enough already with the John Lewis pink jumper ad!

@SimonGorma45061 @SkyNews Queen Consort THEREFORE The Queen!

@SkyNews Queen Consort - not the Queen !

The Queen has vowed to try to bring domestic violence to an end in a new documentary titled 'Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors' trib.al/ELmURmF

@marekesh @SkyNews You think there’s a difference between Queen and Queen Consort? What sort of Queen do you think the wives of George VI, George V and Edward VII were?

@SkyNews She was granted the title ‘Queen Consort’ by Queen Elizabeth II. Charles subverted this to make her ‘Queen’. Royal arrogance yet again. Unacceptable. 💢

@lizwilk08888462 She IS Queen Consort. Queen Consort is always titled Queen. Queen Consort always gets a crown (Queen Camilla was crowned with the crown made for Queen Mary, Consort of George V). She’s not Queen Regnant (female monarch, like QEII) but ‘Queen’ doesn’t imply she is

And another thing…..I don’t remember anyone asking us if we wanted this woman to be our queen….she was supposed to be Queen Consort next thing she has a huge crown in her head

Just for the record, I'm not remotely interested in objective information about US politics for the next 24 hours. I just want people to tell me it's all going to be OK.

@ChristineJoy65 @GreggC_CC Ironically it’s BECAUSE all types of Queen are titled Queen, that they’ve never heard the terms Regnant and Consort before. Sure some of them think Queen Consort is a special title/position created just for Camilla!

@GreggC_CC Well, I am a Royalist, and it's drives me bonkers ! It amazes me that people haven't grasped that Queen Regnant and Queen Consort are all addressed as Queen.

I always find it amusing that somebody that's anti-royalist like myself has to explain to royalists why "Queen consort" and "Her majesty, The Queen" are actually the same thing. If they're so pro-royalty, surely they shout know these things?
