The Duchess of Cornwall has said it will be a "great honour" to become Queen Consort and believes the position will help her to further highlight the causes she supports.
The Queen used her Platinum Jubilee message, where she celebrated marking 70 years on the throne, to declare it is her “sincere wish” that Camilla takes the title when “in the fulness of time” her son Charles becomes King.
Discussing her work with victims of domestic violence, Camilla, 74, said she would not "give up mid-channel", saying she hopes to continue "doing it for a lifetime".
At a special edition of Woman's Hour and BBC Breakfast recorded at Clarence House, Camilla was reunited with Diana Parkes, whose daughter Joanna Simpson was killed by her husband in 2010.
The Duchess has previously cited Ms Parkes as the inspiration behind her work with domestic abuse victims.
Camilla said: "Of course it's a great honour (becoming Queen Consort), it couldn't be anything else. But it does help it.
"I'm going to keep up with these causes.
“You know if I start something like this, I'm not going to give up mid-channel, I'm just going to keep going to try and help the likes of people like Diana ... I hope I should be doing it for a lifetime."
During the interview with presenter Emma Barnett she called for more action to tackle violence against women, saying: "We do need to help culture change. And I think we have to start at the beginning, I think children at school have got to be taught respect.”
The Duchess added: "We have got to go back to the beginnings and ... just build up this idea that you have to have respect for human beings, it's lack of respect.
"It's treating women like chattels and people thinking they can get away with it. I'm sure a lot of people do it and think that there's nothing wrong.
"I don't think (the issue of abuse has) got any better. I think the lockdown was terrible because people actually couldn't escape. And you see the numbers have gone up.
"But on the other hand, I think it's drawn a lot of people's attention to it. I think it's talked about much more now."
Camilla has been an advocate for the cause on numerous occasions, including when she met domestic abuse survivors at Bath charity Voices on February 8.
She has also previously spoken about the need for more to be done to prevent violence against women, with references made to the killings of Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa.
The Duchess, who has just recovered from a bout of Covid, also told Barnett she hoped the Queen's Jubilee would give people the opportunity to "all get together and celebrate".
She said: "It's always lovely to have something happy to look forward to, isn't it? I mean, we've all been through hard times. We've all been locked away from our family and friends. And now we could all get together again and celebrate."
The full interview is due to air on February 24 on Woman's Hour and BBC Breakfast and was conducted in person around three weeks ago, before Camilla was diagnosed with coronavirus.
