“Queen Camilla” still sounds weird. Technically, she’s a queen consort, as opposed to a queen regnum, such as Elizabeth II. but Charles has dropped the “consort” part in his announcements.

Throughout most of British history, the King’s consort has been referred to simply as Queen. The term was only really used during the period between the Ascension and the Coronation to avoid confusion with Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
“Queen Mother” is also another title as they retain their stylings, so I guess you might differentiate between a Queen Consort and a Queen Mother then. Fun fact: When Elizabeth II ascended to the Throne, Queen Mary of Teck was still alive and so was Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. So there were three Queens.
I wonder what Queen Camilla’s title will be if His Majesty passes before she does. My bets would be on Queen Dowager
