Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles will not be getting divorced--instead, Charles will become king at some point and when he does, Camilla will be queen, according to a former royal press secretary.
The divorce rumors were kicked off by tabloid Globe Magazine earlier this month, claiming that Camilla had just found out about Charles’ alleged affair with Barbara Streisand.
Charles not only admitted to it but also laughed, informing her that his life would have been “so much better” if he married Streisand instead of her, the tabloid claimed.
However, Dickie Arbiter, the former press secretary for the royal family, says that Charles will at some point take over as king from Queen Elizabeth and that Camilla will not only still be his wife, but become queen.
“Ever since he and Camilla married in 2005, Clarence House has insisted that the intention is for her to be known as princess consort, not queen, when Charles becomes king. But Arbiter like most royal watchers thinks this was a sop to placate those who still cherished Diana’s memory and that when it comes to it Camilla will be queen,” reported the Express.
It quoted Arbiter as saying, “They‘ll have been married 23 years if he becomes king at 79. It will have been more than 30 years since Diana died. People mellow. She’s pretty well received up and down the country these days. People say to me, ’What do William and Harry think? Their view is they like her and their attitude is if their father is happy, they’re happy.”
The debate started when Charles married Camilla in 2005.
