The Camilla Question

The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Express are squaring up for a fight over the future of Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

The Express gleefully splashes with a poll of its own readers that finds 90% of people are opposed to a "Queen Camilla".

It says that she and her husband Prince Charles "have still failed to win over millions of people who have concerns about swearing allegiance to the two divorcees whose adultery ruined the life of Princess Diana". It continues to peddle conspiracy theories. This time a "secret plan" to make Camilla the Queen.

It is no conspiracy, says an editorial in the Telegraph. "The Prince of Wales is heir apparent, and will in the natural course of things become King. The wife of the King is the Queen. To pretend that things should be otherwise is an offence against constitutional

logic." To underline its sympathies, the Telegraph carries a sympathetic picture of the royal couple at the Chelsea flower show.
