This is the sexist reason why Camilla is 'Queen' and Prince Phillip was only ever 'Duke of Edinburgh'.
By“The Palace referring to Camilla as ‘Queen Consort’ in the wake of the Queen's death, we believe, was to help distinguish her from Elizabeth II,” says Victoria. “For so many years to so many people, The Queen meant Elizabeth II. Moving to the coronation, when the couple are more firmly associated with their new titles, makes a lot of sense.
When Charles and Camilla wed in 2005, public opinion was still very divided on the royal couple, particularly in the wake of his divorce fromand her tragic death. So, a royal statement was made that Camilla would become ‘Princess Consort’, not Queen, if and when Charles ascended the throne. But times have changed since then.
“The late Queen's statement about wishing Camilla to be 'Queen Consort' was to help end the suggestion that Camilla would only be Princess Consort when Charles succeeded, something Clarence House touted at the time of their marriage,” adds Victoria. “Such a move would have required parliamentary intervention to change the law, since morganatic marriage does not exist in the UK.
