The new situation is changing: Camilla will be officially canonized, on an equal footing with Princess Diana?
According to British media reports, Prince Philip has been in bed for three months. This means that Crown Prince Charles's path to the throne will become smoother. And there was also news that Camilla would be officially crowned queen on the day of her succession. The decision would take Camilla's position in the royal family to the next level, even on an equal footing with the late Princess Diana.
Former BBC royal correspondent Brian Hoy said Prince Charles had said he hoped the number of royals attending the coronation would be "slightly reduced". According to people familiar with the matter, if Charles refused to grant the title of duke to his younger brother Edward, it could have made Edward's wife feel very angry. Royal expert Brian Hoy said: "Back in 1999, when Edward married Sophie, the Queen announced that Edward would eventually be awarded the title of Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen did not want Edward to be looked down upon or humiliated by other members of the royal family because of his status. ”
At present, prince Charles's spokesman has not made any positive response to this matter, and the refusal to respond is very obvious. Some people believe that the cold treatment of refusing to answer may also be part of Charles's plan. Know that titles don't just mean responsibility, they also mean higher cost inputs. According to reliable sources, the British Crown needs to absorb at least £90 million a year from taxpayers. But if Edward became duke, he might have to rely on the support of the royal family and taxpayers to maintain his daily life.
Charles didn't want that to happen. Charles had more than once expressed his desire to reduce the number of members of the royal family. The reason why it is hoped to do this is mainly to reduce expenditure, and the more people in the royal family, the higher the capital investment required, which is beyond doubt. Charles, however, insisted that he was not hostile to Edward.
But now it seems that the granting of the title of Duke of Edward is only part of his grand plan. The canonization of Camilla as queen is the highlight of Charles's succession, and this matter has caused a lot of controversy.
Some members of the royal family said that when Charles succeeded to the throne, the title of princess would fall on Camilla's head. Although the difference between the princess and the queen is only one word, the meaning covered is completely different. Many members of the royal family believe that Prince Charles must have other intentions, he not only wants Camilla to become his princess, but also hopes that she will become the noble queen of the royal family, hoping that Camilla will be crowned with him. But Prince Charles plans to cut unnecessary expenses in the future, is he really willing to spend money on Camilla to buy a valuable queen crown?
