Prince Charles, who is first in line to the throne, has posted a touching tribute to his wife, Camilla, following the Queen’s announcement that she will become ‘Queen Consort.’
The Queen has begun celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee, which marks her 70th year on the throne, and has made a special announcement. Her Majesty has issued a statement, confirming that Camilla, will become the Queen Consort, when Prince Charles becomes King.

"We are deeply conscious of the honour represented by my mother’s wish. As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout."
He continued, "The year of this unprecedented platinum jubilee brings an opportunity for us all to come together in celebrating the service of the Queen, by whose example we will continue to be led in the years to come."
