Constitutional professor Vernon Bogdanor of King’s College London said Camilla Parker-Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall, will likely not be by Prince Charles’ side during the latter’s coronation when Queen Elizabeth II dies. This is because, according to the expert, Camila will have difficulties with a divorce.

In Camilla’s case, that’s not great.” The expert points out the fact that Camila is divorced. Her ex-husband, Andrew Parler-Bowles, is a retired British Army officer, now 82.

And I sincerely hope that when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her service. Sincere.”
