Did I miss something here. When did he slide in on the sly?
The UK media have a cosy relationship with the Royals so they don't publish any stories they may find embarrassing. There are also rumours that Willie has taken out a high court injunction banning media outlets from reporting on his affair. However, the foreign media have been reporting on William's alleged affair for a while now.

Ok and thanks. Kate is sticking around, so little more that a doormat.

She's likes the trappings of royalty too much and values it more than her dignity.
I agree Ol' Kate is from Newbury in Berkshire. Newbury is about 30 minutes from where I live, and I have been working there as and needed.

Newbury is a dismal dump. Hope went there to die. The little village that was trumpeted as where the family plotted to send their Kate to the same university as Harry's half brother is behind a tree line but.. it's Newbury. I have stop there countless times to... sin.

The Tesco on the way out of the Godless place is actually very good. One of the best I've used. The photo of Kate pushing her trolley out of the store.... she is hoi polloi that plated up the goods to Harry's semi sibling.

I'm thinking that she has the one that asked how dark skinned Megan and Harry's child going to be....

My source (sounds grand but it's just a friend that works in the media and has good contacts) told me it was William who expressed concerns about how dark Meghan's child was going to be.

Want a c***. Let us join together and pray for sinner. Demons obviously entered the fool via his sphincter and ejected all decency through the now well traversed demonic back door.

Why would anyone care. It is baffling to me
But then I don't have sphincter raiding demons running around in me.

To be honest I was never a fan of Camilla.

I wasn't a fan of Prince Charles either over the carry on with Princess Diana.

I know Diana was no angel but then neither was Charles.

He had an affair with Camilla whilst married to Diana.

God Rest Diana's soul but she didn't deserve to die in that car accident, that's if it was a n accident!

Charles has big boots to fill but I honestly don't think he'll be as loved as his Mother Queen Elizabeth II.

I will just wait & see. :)

I wonder how long it will be before they stop calling Camilla "Queen Consort" in every single reference and shorten it to simply "Queen". I remember my grandmother had a strong affection for Queen Mary (wife of George V) and never could understand the difference between a consort and what I called "a real queen."

I think they call her "Queen Consort" at the moment because they feel the public won't accept her being queen soon Elizabeth 2 died. Previous wives of the King were just known as Queen so I suspect it's only a matter of time before they start calling her Queen Camilla.

Philip remained merely a prince, and a Prince Consort at that, didn't he?

Did anybody complain about that?
From what I understand, and people who watched The Crown will know better than me as I know they covered this, Philip had to bargain pretty hard with the queen to even be given the title of prince, as technically he was not entitled to that title. So she went against protocol and his title was changed from Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to Prince Philip a decade after they were married. I do know that he had to renounce his titles as a prince of both Greece and Denmark in order to marry the queen, so he went from being a prince to a duke to a prince again.

As an American it's all so confusing to me. Why is the King's wife entitled to the title of Queen, but the Queen's husband isn't even entitled to the title of Prince?

What's also interesting is that one of the Queen's titles was Duke (not Duchess) of Lancaster and her husband didn't get an accompanying title. Charles now becomes Duke of Lancaster and Camilla will be the Duchess of Lancaster but they won't use those titles as they are inferior to King and Queen.

We still live in a sexist society; women are considered the property of their husbands so they usually take on their husband's surname and titles but it doesn't often apply the other way around.

I am really just trying to figure out why Philip wasn't entitled to be King.

When Mary I was Queen of England, her husband was crowned King and considered the co-monarch.

So, why not Philip when QE2 was Queen ?

Short answer is that Mary I was England's first official Queen Regnant and there wasn't much precedent to follow. There was a special Act passed by Parliament to cover Mary's marriage to Phillip, allowing him to be co-regent. That Act was later repealed.

Generally speaking, a King would be presumed to outrank a Queen, even if they were co-rulers. A man who married a Queen wouldn't automatically become anything. I believe that holds true of all British titles; an untitled man who marries, say, a Duchess, wouldn't become a Duke. Phillip was made a Duke prior to his marriage to Elizabeth, and she made him a Prince a few years later.
