This Saturday, May 6, at Westminster Abbey, Camila became Queen consort by being crowned with her husband, Carlos III. The wish of the late Queen Elizabeth II was for Camilla to assume this title and her will has come true. Camila's coronation ceremony was simpler than her husband's and did not include an oath, since her role as Queen consort is to support the king and her powers are limited.
Therefore, he is expected to accompany her at official events and assume her duties in case he cannot be present. During the ceremony, Camila wore a gold-plated silver crown with more than 2,200 diamonds, weighing up to 600 grams.
While the crown was being fitted, her discomfort and fear of it falling off was noted, so she walked very carefully around the abbey. She also wore a tunic hand-embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework with gold thread, which represents the significant symbols of nature, such as lilies of the valley, the favorite flower of the late Queen Elizabeth and present in her bridal bouquet in her wedding to the then Prince of Wales.
Despite the fact that Camilla's image has improved in British society, there is still a positive assessment of only 38% of the population. At 74 years old, Camila now assumes the role of Queen consort, a title that the late Queen Elizabeth II wished for her and that has finally come true.
