Queen Elizabeth II Wants Camilla to Become Queen Consort

Queen Elizabeth II has been surrounded by men in her inner circle since the loss of her mother, the Queen Mother, and her younger sister, Princess Margaret.

However, since the passing of her husband, Prince Philip, last year, the 95-year-old monarch has decided to make a change.

According to a report on nowtolove.au, Her Majesty made an official announcement earlier this month, in which she expressed her sincere wishes for her daughter-in-law, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to become Queen Consort when her son, Prince Charles, takes over the throne.

The news has sparked headlines around the world, not only due to the debate around Camilla's position in the royal family but also the clear message the Queen's statement sent about her plans for the future of the monarchy.

Although we hope Her Majesty continues to live many more years hearty and hale, it's clear that she's making plans for a future where Charles is King.

Sources say this is a sign that she's reshaping the family.

For the next three generations, Her Majesty is acutely aware that the sovereign will be a man.

She wants to ensure that the women supporting them or raising them are feeling very much included in the future.

Thus, she called Camilla and Catherine to Windsor Castle late last year for a bonding experience.

The Queen wanted to encourage Catherine and Camilla to become close so they have each other to lean on.

Indeed, Catherine is pictured alongside Camilla at a rare joint royal engagement where they showed off what onlookers tell women's day was an easy manner between them.

A Palace Insider says, “Catherine and Camilla have always got on, but they've become firm friends since the Queen sat down with them.

We'll see them united on a lot of issues, which was the Queen's wish.”

It's a far cry from how the Queen once felt about Camilla.

More than 20 years ago, the Queen refused to attend her eldest son's 50th birthday because Camilla was going to be there.

Now, she's practically shoving her onto the throne, says a source.

Camilla knew back then that she was facing a gargantuan task winning over the mother-in-law, but she played an incredible long game.

She worked hard, never complained, and showed her loyalty to Charles and his family.

In the Queen's mind, she deserves this honour.

However, it won't all be ribbon and cake cutting for the royal family's new star twosome, with the Queen warning they'll soon have to handle delicate matters without her.

At their summit, no one tiptoed around the serious issues, especially when it comes to Prince Harry or the Prince Andrew disaster, says a source.

The Andrew situation is in hand, but they agreed this feud between the princes has to stop.

They privately feel Meghan is the biggest obstacle to achieving family unity.
