@mcc14339 @fasc1nate I believe so, but it was closed off long before 1964. That was the year my family and I went to the New York World’s Fair and we also went to the Statue of Liberty. We climbed to the crown but they told us we couldn’t go into the arm.

@mykhails @KensingtonRoyal @RoyalFamily Rubbish

@JFracci @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle Her Majesty The Queen. Consort is her role, not her title.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@solacetalie @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle She most certainly is Her Majesty The Queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@AngelaKelley_ @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle Only a literal act of parliament can change that. Barring action by parliament, Camilla was destined to one day become Queen from the moment Charles slipped the ring on her finger.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@AngelaKelley_ @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle In addition, Queen Elizabeth’s statement was only a blessing. It carried no force of law. Even if had she wanted to call Camilla “Mickey Mouse”, it wouldn’t have mattered. She had no power to determine titles for a future King’s wife. By law, the wife of the King is The Queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@AngelaKelley_ @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle Queen Elizabeth knew that a Queen consort’s title is Her Majesty The Queen (or informally HM Queen (name). In calling the new queen Her Majesty The Queen (or informally, HM Queen Camilla), Elizabeth’s wishes have been precisely followed.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@AngelaKelley_ @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle But Camilla’s style/title is Her Majesty The Queen. Every king’s wife has that style/title. Queen Elizabeth wished that Camilla be queen consort, rather than Princess Consort as had been previously announced. She didn't mean "not Queen".

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@AngelaKelley_ @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle I can’t believe it’s been over a year and we STILL have to explain this. Camilla IS the queen consort. That is the descriptive name for the king’s wife. It distinguishes her from a queen regnant such as Queen Elizabeth II.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@MaxTallant22 @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle Oh good grief. It’s time we put an end to the tired “Diana should be queen” trope. She was divorced from Charles 27 years ago. Charles is now seated on the throne next to the woman he CHOSE to be his queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@Lamb3rt0n @Matt00600872 @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle What point? Camilla is The Queen. Her Majesty The Queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@K_johnson902 @IRAS054372502 @RoyalFamily @HillsCastle She is indeed THE Queen during her husband’s reign. Her Majesty The Queen. Her official style and title is exactly the same as that of a Queen regnant.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@yakalot2 @RoyalFamily Her official title is Her Majesty The Queen. “Queen Camilla” can be used, but is a colloquial form. If someone says that The Queen visited somewhere today, there can be no confusion about who is being discussed, because she is the only Queen currently alive.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@HardakerSte @RoyalFamily Of course it’s The Queen. Her Majesty The Queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@sallie6youtube @RoyalFamily She is not an imposter. She is the King's lawful wife so that makes her The Queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@SuperGrizzMama @RoyalFamily Consort is her role, not her title. She is Her Majesty The Queen. And many people are happy she's there. She is a great asset to the king. The UK is lucky to have her.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@ObWeiss @RoyalFamily They do have a Queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@deniseangelinas @RoyalFamily Hereditary monarchies do not require that people deserve their positions. They are achieved through being born to it, or being the wife of the heir. That being said, Queen Camilla most certainly does deserve her position. She is, and will continue to be an exemplary Queen.

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@SaraEli25 @RoyalFamily @RADheadquarters What, just because Diana did something, no one else can ever do it again?? SMH

[Joy Rimpau @jrimpau]

@Gertsroyals @_thepaulorubio Thank you! That makes sense.
