Diana was stripped of her title after a divorce that Camilla caused. Why should Camilla get the title of Queen?

I believe so. She is married to Prince Charles and has had to confess publicly her sins in order to have their marriage blessed by the Church. It seems to me that you Brits want things both ways, it can't happen. It takes 2 make a marriage fail and Diana had her share of lovers yet for some reason you only remember the good things. Camilla and Charles tried to end it and work on their marriages But sometimes love is meant to be and they have both suffered enough. Quit bullying her, Camilla makes him happy which is more than Diana was able to do!

If Charles is crowned King, Camilla will be crowned Queen. That is the law. There is no morganatic marriage in the UK. Charles has not been asked to deny his succession to the throne so it is clear that he will succeed.
Whether you like it or not, if Charles survives his mother he will be King and Camilla will be Queen consort the same as Queen Elizabeth the wife of George VI, Queen Mary, the wife of George V and Queen Alexandra, the wife of Edward VII.

No she is a divorcee and not free to marry Charles who is now a widower
Charles was not free to marry anyone whilst he was a divorcee
He should not have married Camilla because on the face of things she was the course of the marriage break up
The real question is "Should Charles be King"

Diana was a wonderful person that did incredible charity work, however, everyone forgets that she also had an affair. In any case, that's not really relevant as royalty are humans like the rest of us and make mistakes. I think Camilla has been, and still is, treated appallingly by the press, for the most part because she is not as attractive as Diana. Seems like a kinda superficial reason to me.
King Edward married Wallace Simpson in 1937 and even in 1937 Edward was legally allowed to marry her and remain King, it was his ministers that opposed it on the grounds that the people would never accept her as queen. Times certainly have changed since then with almost one third of marriages in Britain ending in divorce the people can not really judge them on this basis.
By the way, Prince Phillip did not become King when he married the Queen as she was the one in line for the throne and when men marry a Queen they do not become King. The idea behind this is that a King is higher that a Queen (like in poker) and he can not become higher than her by marrying her. Women, however, do become Queens when they marry Kings. This is the tradition, which is all the monarchy is anyway so why not!

The monarcy is not a Pick 'n' Mix. You accept your monarch for better or worse.
When Charles becomes King, his lady becomes Queen.
They say that on becoming King, Charles will call himself William (as in King Billy). Thus the Royal monogram could become WC.
Personally, I detest the idea of monarchy. The whole idea sucks! BUT we could have much worse than Charles.

first she would have to kill the current queen. that family murdered their way to royalty and the closest they have been since is princess diana and they shitted on her and all it did was fall back in their pompous faces where it belongs. Look at them before dianna they were an ugly bunch. prince charles and camilla imagine the kids from those royal asses.

If anything can destroy the Monarchy in England, it would be having Camilla as Queen. I really don't think that she wants to be Queen, and there is too much opposition to her husband "I love to talk with my plants" Prnce Charles becoming King.

NO! Charkes should probably never have been allowed to marry her in the first place! she should remain as she is now just like Prince Phillip was never King despite being married to the Queen. Camilla will never be accepted by the British people so whats the point of having a hated Queen? It wuld be just as big a kick in the teeth as if she became the Pricess of Wales!

Sure. But Charles has to become King first.
Elizabeth shows no sign of stepping down and the women tend to live far longer than the men, so it may skip from Elizabeth to her grandkids.
