When Charles, Prince of Wales becomes king, what will his wife be called? She should be queen, but that’s not always the case. Queen Elizabeth II, for example, inherited the title from her father, George VI, and her husband, Philip, was given the title of Prince and Duke of Edinburgh.
And indeed, in the year of the announcement of the marriage of Carlos and Camila (2005), the official statement said that she would use the title of princess consort when Carlos acceded to the throne.
