- Laura Elston

The Queen has used her Platinum Jubilee message to the nation to back the Duchess of Cornwall as Queen Camilla.

In the hugely significant intervention, she expressed her sincere wish” that Camilla will be known as Queen Consort when the Prince of Wales becomes King.

As she reached her 70th year on the throne, the Queen set out her hopes for her daughter-in-law, once a royal mistress and now certain to be called Queen and crowned at Charles's side.

The monarch, using the Jubilee to put her affairs in order on a public platform, also shared her succession support for her eldest son as monarch.
