Camilla slammed by UK public over new Queen title ahead of King's Coronation

Camilla's official new title as Queen has been slammed by UK public ahead of King Charles's Coronation.

In a survey carried out on 1,569 British adults online between March 24 to 27, only 14% thought Camilla should be called Queen, while 36% said she should be called Queen Consort.

A further 23% said Camilla should have no title at all, and 16% thought she should remain as the Duchess of Cornwall.

Camilla will now be officially known as Queen, after the Palace revealed her title for the first time on the invitation to the King's coronation.

Seven months after the death of the late Monarch, Camilla's title will change forever.

A senior Palace source said: "It made sense to refer to Her Majesty as The Queen Consort in the early months of His Majesty’s reign, to distinguish from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

"'Queen Camilla’ is the appropriate title to set against ‘King Charles’ on the invitation.

"The Coronation is an appropriate time to start using ‘Queen Camilla’ in an official capacity.

When it comes to wider questions about the monarchy, the survey, carried out b y Deltapoll, found only 23% said they were in favour of a republic and 51% said they believed Britain would still have a monarchy in 50 years’ time.

Brits were also asked who they think had done most damage to the monarchy's reputation recently, with a close result of 46% naming Prince Andrew and 43% Prince Harry.

On the subject of William and Kate, 71% said Kate and William were better role models, with 14% naming Meghan and Harry as the best role models.

Nearly three quarters, 73%, think that Charlotte and Louis should eventually earn some money by working and 79% would remove Prince Andrew from the line of succession - while 64% would remove Harry.

Overall, 64% of those surveyed thought King Charles would go on to be a good monarch.
