If Queen Camilla outlives King Charles III, her title will likely change to...

Buckingham Palace announced Monday that King Charles III was recently diagnosed with cancer. The news sparked search interest in what would happen to his wife, Queen Camilla, if she outlives the 75-year-old monarch




 Camilla would likely take on the title of queen dowager.. Merriam Webster defines queen dowager as "the widow of a king." The label is an important distinction from "queen mother," the title Queen Elizabeth II’s mother, Queen Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon, took on after her husband, King George VI, passed away in 1952. While all widows of kings are technically queen dowager's, the title of queen mother for Elizabeth's mom was to distinguish her role as the birth mother to the reigning heir. 



 In Camilla's case, she is not the mother of the reigning heir, Prince William.



 Camilla’s current official title is queen, though she was briefly known as "queen consort" after Queen Elizabeth's death. Her title changed to just queen ahead of Charles' coronation. A consort signifies husband or wife of a monarch, according to the Royal Collection Trust. Although when Charles took the crown in May, the palace dropped “consort” from her title on the mailed invitations, marking a significant shift in the 76-year-old's public image.
