Queen Elizabeth made a surprise announcement months before her death regarding the royal title of King Charles’ wife. The then-monarch said at the time that it was her wish for Camilla to be styled Queen Consort instead of Princess Consort when the time comes. The queen’s wish came true after her passing.

But even though Queen Elizabeth’s announcement seemed as though it came out of nowhere, royal author Christopher Andersen explained that this wasn’t the case. He said that the queen had an unspoken agreement with King Charles over his wife’s future royal title. And this agreement involved Prince Andrew.

After years of trying to clear his name, Prince Andrew finally reached an agreement with his sexual abuse accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Since the Duke of York wasn’t receiving any income, there were reports claiming that the queen had to pay for her son’s settlement.

King Charles Agreed With Queen Elizabeth’s Decision To Settle Prince Andrew’s Lawsuit For Queen Consort Camilla?

According to Andersen, King Charles did not argue with the queen’s decision to settle Prince Andrew’s sexual abuse lawsuit even if he knew that the money will be taken from his inheritance. And in return, this meant that the queen would also allow Camilla to be styled as queen consort.

“According to Andersen, any money spent by Queen Elizabeth to help settle the sex abuse lawsuit brought against Prince Andrew would effectively come out of Charles’ future inheritance. In what the book refers to as an informal quid pro quo, Charles allegedly seized the opportunity, not standing in the way of that payment and privately suggesting the queen make a public statement in support of Camilla becoming queen,” Andersen said (via Cheat Sheet).

Queen Elizabeth Did Not Immediately Approve Of King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla’s Relationship?

When King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla first started dating, there were reports that they did not receive the queen’s approval. After all, their relationship started while King Charles was still married to Princess Diana.

And out of respect for her royal duties and for the late royal, the queen skipped King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla’s royal wedding in 2005.

Queen Elizabeth’s Statement Regarding Queen Consort Camilla’s Royal Title Wasn’t Made Out Of The Blue?

But over the years, the queen and Camilla’s relationship improved. And the waiting for things to get between the two female royals seems to have paid off.

“It took another 17 years for Charles after they were wed to finally convince the queen to make this shocking and stunning announcement that she did in the last year completely out of the blue. Well, it wasn’t out of the blue. It was, again, an unspoken arrangement between the two of them done behind the scenes by these men in gray that Diana used to talk about,” Andersen said.

However, Buckingham Palace reportedly released a statement dismissing Andersen’s claims about King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, and Queen Elizabeth.
