Camilla could be queen unless law is changed

THE British government has confirmed the Prince of Wales’s marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles will not be “morganatic”, meaning she would automatically become queen when he succeeds to the throne unless legislation is passed.

Constitutional Affairs Minister Christopher Leslie confirmed the status of the marriage in a written Commons reply to Labour backbencher Andrew Mackinlay.

The MP asked whether “the proposed marriage of HRH the Prince of Wales to Camilla Parker Bowles is morganatic”.
