The 74 year old has taken on the new role in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death, with her husband King Charles III, 73, becoming the new reigning monarch.

Speaking on BBC One, Elizabeth: "The Queen Consort came from a very normal background and she’s stepped up and into this role with extraordinary grace and dignity. It has not been easy for her." "Times are tough sometimes, they put their head down and they just get on with it – and she did that. It took courage and she did it beautifully.They are such a joyful couple together.
"They are a wonderful partnership and a wonderful team and burdens will be heavy for both of them and they will need each other," the expert added. Camilla, formerly known as the Duchess of Cornwall, immediately became Queen Consort following Her Majesty's death. The title is given to the wife of a reigning king, with the last royal to take on the title of Queen Consort being the Queen Mother, whose husband was King George VI.
