Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall Says She Is 'Honored' & 'Very Touched' After Queen Elizabeth Reveals Her New Role In The Royal Family
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is 'honored' and 'very touched' after Queen Elizabeth changed her title to Queen Consort.
It's been less than one week since Queen Elizabeth announced that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall would become Queen Consort when Prince Charles is King, and it seems like the blonde beauty is still ecstatic about the news.
While at several engagements on Thursday, February 10, the Duchess responded when someone asked about her future role in the royal family.
Camilla said she felt "very honored" and "very touched" by the Queen's message.
Earlier that day, Clarence House revealed Charles has tested positive for COVID-19, but Camilla tested negative.
Last weekend, the monarch announced the news. “I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me," the 95-year-old said in a statement. “And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me. And it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”
Charles, 73, was touched by the gesture.
“On this historic day, my wife and I join you all in congratulating Her Majesty The Queen on the remarkable achievement of serving this nation, the realms and Commonwealth for seventy years," he began. “The Queen’s devotion to the welfare of all her people inspires still greater admiration with each passing year."

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.”
