The royals reportedly want Camilla to take on the title of Queen Dowager when William is crowned. If this happens, she will not be the first royal to outlive their partner. Queen Adelaide was the first to use the Queen Dowager title back in 1830.

Camilla’s relationship with Charles began while he was still married to Princess Diana. Although Camilla technically became the Princess of Wales when she wed Charles in 2005 but the title remained closely connected to Princess Diana.
