Comment on The Queen was the victim of an attempted indecent assault as a teenager, book claims
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 13 hours agoNo. 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.

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.
