King Coronation: Coronation is going to happen in Britain after 70 years. After the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II on September 2022, her son King Charles III became the King of Britain, but on May 6 he is going to officially take over the throne. This coronation is going to be special for many reasons.
The British government and the monarchy fund are going to spend 100 million pounds i.e. 102 million rupees in this ceremony to be held in Britain, which is facing financial crisis. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Sunak will lead the ceremonial procession and Camilla Parker, the second wife of King Charles, will become Queen from Queen Consort.
By the way, King Charles III was decided to become king only when his mother Queen Elizabeth II took over the throne in 1953. On completion of 75 years of her tenure in February 2022, Queen Elizabeth expressed her desire that her wife Camilla be made Queen Consort when Charles becomes king. However, Camilla has been given the title of Queen among the 2,000 people who were sent invitations for the Coronation ceremony to be held on May 6.
difference between queen and queen consort
Actually, in the history of Britain, she gets the title of Queen or Rani who sits on the throne, who got this position from her ancestors, but when a woman is married to a king, she is called Queen Consort. Like Queen Elizabeth got the monarchy from her father, so she became Queen Elizabeth III, but Camilla is married to King Charles II, so she became Queen Consort.
Then how did Camilla become Queen?
According to the British media, it was not appropriate to give the title of Queen to Camilla immediately after the death of Queen Elizabeth, so the time of invitation to Coronation was chosen. Actually, the marriage of King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles has been one of Britain’s most controversial marriages.
King Charles was first married to Princess Diana in 1981, from this marriage they have two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Prince William is the next in line for the British throne after Charles. However, the marriage of Charles and Diana did not last. Both separated in 1992 and both got divorced in 1996. Camilla was the reason for their separation.
What happened after Diana’s death?
Princess Diana was a favorite of the people of Britain because of her beauty and generous spirit. Sometimes she used to hug an AIDS patient and sometimes she used to talk to the common people like a common man, but after the news of Diana’s divorce, the people of Britain filled hatred against Camilla.
People started hating Camilla because of Diana, even before Camilla could prove herself, Princess Diana died in an accident in 1997, a year after the divorce.
After Diana’s death, hundreds of Britons gathered outside Buckingham Palace to express their grief. However, about 8 years after this incident, in 2005, Camilla married Prince Charles with the permission of the Queen, but the royal family knew that Camilla’s acceptance was not among the people, so it was decided that even after Charles became king Camilla will not be a queen, but a princess consort. However, on February 2022, Queen Elizabeth wished to make Camilla Queen Consort, which the husband and wife could not refuse.
