Harpers Bazaar also reported that Camilla’s coronation crown has already been picked out and she will stand by Charles at the first double coronation ceremony since 1937.
The Queen’s decision had a negative backlash on social media due to the history between Prince Charles and Camilla.
In my opinion, it’s really unfortunate, the Duke of Cambridge, and future King William, wasn’t involved in the decision process of whether Camilla, should be Queen Consort or not. Without Prince William, it’s very likely the British Monarchy wouldn’t survive

Queen Consort I’ll be ok with but I would never accept her as Queen Camilla never !

No I’m not happy.
The royal family lied when saying princess consort but now changing her to queen consort, I’m disgusted that Charles isn’t thinking about his children’s mother’s memory of Princess Diane.
If Camilla had any decency she wouldn’t accept the new title.
