On the last day of 2021, Buckingham Palace announced a message –
Prince Charles's wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, with her "dedication to the monarch",
The Queen personally awarded her the Garter Medal.
The award, seen by the British media as having married Charles in 2005, camilla's loyalty and prudence over the past 16 years have finally been recognized by the royal family.
This has led to more speculation,
The Queen may have been supporting Camilla, and when Charles succeeded to the throne in the future, she would be crowned "Queen".
Clarence Palace, where Charles and Camilla now live, explains,
The Queen's "intention" was to make Camilla a Princess Consort.
Because after marrying Charles, Prince of Wales, Camilla was generally called Duchess of Cornwall, not Princess of Wales.
Legally, she is the Princess of Wales.
But considering that Diana had used this title, in order not to be confused, she was only called "Duchess of Cornwall",
Only when Charles succeeded to the throne would she begin to use the title of "Her Royal Highness the Princess".
Therefore, Camilla's later title of "Princess" is justified.
But no one had ever said before that she would be crowned "Queen" in the future.
This time she was awarded the Order of the Garder, indicating that the queen wanted to bring the daughter-in-law with her son Charles before he succeeded to the throne, which led to speculation that Camilla might be crowned queen.
You know, the Garter Medal is not an ordinary reward,
It has a deep historical background and is one of the highest rank medals in the British honour system.
Not even Charles's predecessor, Princess Diana, who was beloved by the British, did not.
The full name of the Order of the Garter is the Order of the Supreme Knights of the Garter, which is a knightly medal that symbolizes the highest honor.
In 1348, Edward III, inspired by the legend of "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table", created the Knights of the Gard, and the original wearer (knight) included only 25 people.
This tradition was passed down, and at first the medals were awarded only to members of the royal family and the nobility.
Later, with the development of the times, the conditions were relaxed, and men and women who made outstanding contributions to the state, public service or to the monarch personally had the opportunity to receive the Garter Medal.
This time, for example, the Queen awarded the Garter Medal to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair (who was also knighted), but was controversial for sending British troops to the battlefield in Iraq.
Only the British monarch has the right to award the Garter Medal without government interference,
In addition to the monarch himself and the Crown Prince of Wales, only no more than 24 living people have the privilege of wearing this medal.
However, the monarch has the privilege of conferring an extraordinarily large number of individuals with an extraordinarily large number of medals.
(The Queen wears the Garter Medal)
So in Britain, the Order of the Garter is a very valuable honor,
This time the Queen personally awarded it to Camilla, because she had played a good role in the royal family for many years, showed respect for Charles and the monarchy, and was calm and willing to dedicate, which made the Queen very satisfied, which was promoted.
Seeing that the Queen is getting older and closer to the day of Charles's succession,
It is estimated that the queen will give Camilla the merits in order to pave the way for her son and daughter-in-law in advance, so that she will have the opportunity to be promoted from "princess" to "queen" in the future.
Even the British media's propaganda coverage of the matter is likely to be part of the Paving Plan.
Of course, Charles was happy, too.
In the words of the British press, Charles never hid his desire for Camilla to be the queen and accompany him.
For Camilla's award of the Garter Medal, British netizens say anything,
Some people think she deserves it, and some people are mocking it again.
"Whatever the negative attitudes say – Camilla didn't ruin the marriage between the Prince of Wales and Diana.
The man who did that was Charles, who was married to someone he didn't love. Diana is also responsible.
Ultimately – Charles and Camilla have been in love for more than 50 years. Let them go"!
Camilla is worth it.
Camilla understands the role she plays, and that's what she was born for. She also cared about Charles.
What more can we ask for?
I agree that Camilla has shown great dignity, composure and loyalty. She has a sense of humor, warmth and kindness.
More "pro-Camilla" publicity prepares the public for the next queen.
Best Mistress Award?
This incident shows that in the UK, any action will be rewarded. Camilla and Blair, just kidding.
When did "a third party in marriage" become a sign of prudence?
This is the highest honor that a royal mistress can receive.
The honor system is a joke. It's over.
If the outside world speculation is correct, then giving Camilla the award is only the first step.
How the royal family will promote her in the future, there is still something to see...
