  • Queen Elizabeth said she wants the Duchess of Cornwall to be known as Queen Camilla in the future.
  • "It is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort," she said.
  • The Queen is celebrating 70 years on the throne this weekend.

Queen Elizabeth II wants Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to be known as "Queen" when Prince Charles takes the throne, she announced on Saturday.

"When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service," she said in a statement released on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years since she ascended the throne in 1952.

That means Camilla would be known as "Queen Camilla." It was previously unclear if she would receive the title.
