Sir Tom.

Because if she was just ‘Princess’, she would only be HRH, whereas if her title was ‘Queen Consort’, she would be HM.

Bet Charles won’t stand for her being just HRH.

Well, I for one very much hope that Camilla will be Queen Consort when the time comes.

If she is given the title Princess Consort, it will just sound daft.

Am quite sure her title will be whatever Charles wants it to be.

I think Captain Tom is a wonderful inspiring person Callistemon.

Camilla certainly has ‘earned her stripes.’ She has quietly got on with the job, and she has supported her husband and made him happy. She deserves to be Queen Consort, but actually I don’t think she’d bother if she wasn’t. But she will be, and I’ll be happy to see her in that position.

and neither can Crazygran.

It's sad that you can't be pleased for an old man who has done so much to raise money for the NHS.

He is honoured and thrilled to receive this knighthood in person from his Monarch. That is all that matters.

I saw the photo of Sir Tom and the Queen; it brought a tear to my eye! Two seniors from different walks of life brought together honouring duty to their country (that's a bad sentence, but you get my meaning). Well done.

Wonderful day for Sir Tom.

Hope we see wedding photographs of Beatrice’s wedding tomorrow.

Camilla will make an excellent queen consort, those who think
she shouldn’t take the title, do you think the same of all women who marries a divorced man ?

Camilla has gone from being the most hated woman in the UK to not only be accepted, but liked and admired by many. All this in 20 years. And she will be Queen Consort as the Queen Mother before her and the duchess of Cambridge after.

Arise Sir Tom. Very well deserved and pleased Beatrice had her wedding with her gran there.

'wouldn't' not would.

I don’t think the same

I'm happy for Camilla to be Queen when the time comes, but I would dream of assuming all people think the same.

Sorry Crazygran I started a similar thread under News, didn’t see this one.

Pleased for Beatrice, poor girl she almost had her dreams shattered because of Covid! And well done Your Majesty still going strong like the proverbial Duracell batteries! Lastly but not least, Congratulations sir Tom! ?

Awww, bless Sir Tom. He’s a wonderful old man. He deserves his knighthood.

I've just watched the video of the Queen knighting Sir Tom.

She's a bit unsteady on her feet now and the way she was brandishing the sword he's lucky she didn't have his eye out!!

Yes, she's a Countess now, isn't she?

She has had a shitty time of it like a lot of couples who would have got married this year, added to which she must be in turmoil over her father.

I wish them both well.

I feel really happy for Beatrice, Calli. She's been dealt a shitty hand what with Prince Andrew and coronavirus putting a spanner in the works as far as her wedding was concerned.

It was indeed a wise move. If they'd waited any longer who knows whether or not Prince Philip would have been able to attend and she obviously wanted her grandparents there.

He's a bit of a dish and she'll have a title of her own now.

You cannot speak for everyone, Esspee, I'm sure some would.

Well done, Your Majesty, Captain Tom deserves his knighthood.

I didn't realise that Beatrice had got married. No pomp and circumstance for her, then.
Very wise.

Eespee, Camilla won't be anything other than consort. She'll be Queen consort.

She's earned her stripes!

I’m no royalist but have a high level of admiration for the queen, long may she reign.
Charles is another matter entirely and hopefully he will drop the idea of insisting his wife becomes Queen when he becomes King. No way will the people accept her as anything other than consort.

Surely it’s just a saying, annep1, meaning she’s good, the person thinks highly of her. Yes, Crazygran, I agree.

What does that mean.. she's the best?
