Can Prince Charles wife ever be called queen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No ! Camilla wasn't born into a Royal family - and therefore can NEVER have the title 'Queen' It's the same situation with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's husband, Philip. He wasn't part of a Royal Family, and thus has the title Prince.

Camilla will have the title Princess Camilla when Charles accedes to the throne.

Is Prince Charles heir to the English throne?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He legally cannot decline the throne.

Until he is king himself (for at least a day) he is not in charge of naming a new heir, the current ruler (the queen) is.

The only way he could be skipped is for the current ruler (the Queen) to declare a new legal heir. The current queen or king can technically appoint anyone they wish as heir to the throne (it is usually a blood relative of some sort, but even that is not technically required). It should be noted however that if the public is not happy with the choice they could in theory revolt. (how likely that is to happen in modern times is debatable)

There is always someone on the list as heir in case of unexpected death, in fact they keep a list of heirs in case many die at once. But that list can be changed at any time by the current ruler.

Basically whoever has been named heir becomes ruler immediately upon the death of the current ruler (or if the current ruler declares that they are stepping down and appointing a new ruler)

Now assuming the Queen does not name a new heir, Charles cannot decline becoming king, it will simply happen immediately. Whether or not he bothers to have the ceremony to accept the crown he would still be King.

However, if he does not want to keep the the title, he can accept the throne and immediately step down and appoint someone else.

He needs to be King for at least one day to have the authority to do this.

What happens to the Queens Birthday public holiday when the Queen dies?

Asked by Wiki User

Nothing happens on the queens birthday. When the Queen dies there would be a public holiday as it would be a state funeral. I also presume that the coronation for Charles would be a public holiday...

Did Queen Elizabeth have a child with Thomas Seymour?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, there is no evidence, only suspicions at the time. However, it does appear that Seymour paid unhealthy attention to Elizabeth when she was around 14. It would seem that his aim was to marry Elizabeth, which he didn't achieve, but ended up being beheaded for treason.

Was Elizabeth street was named after Queen Elizabeth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Elizabeth I- who reigned l558-l603. This is the most logical explanation. There was also a Saint Elizabeth- in the Bible- and around l234 AD ( easy number to remember) Saint Elisabeth ( I am using the Continental spelling) of Hungary who was noted for her charitable deeds. While never Canonized, the martyred ( by an assasin) Empress Elisabeth of Austria is the namesake of the Elisabeth Bridge, a very large bridge in Europe and one of the first to be totally pre-fabbed with specially rolled steel for some components. This is in the city of Budapest. Bridge has been rebuilt several times, to rectify war damages.

Why won't queen elizabeth give up the throne?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Her Majesty is still perfectly capable of carrying out her duties and is not obliged to give up her throne.

She would probably also consider it a grave dereliction of her duty to the nation. the only abdication to have occurred in recent times was that of Edward VIII in 1936. He chose to abdicate in order to be able to marry Mrs Wallis Simpson. At the time, because she was divorced, such a marriage was considered socially unacceptable, especially for the King, as leading citizen. It was also considered highly shameful that the King would give up the throne in order to be with her.
