The story behind the crown Camilla will wear at Charles’ coronation

Yesterday marked an impressive 70 years since The Queen ascended to the throne.

To celebrate, the Palace released Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee portrait, and also announced that Camilla Parker-Bowles would be known as Queen Consort when Prince Charles is crowned King.

In a length address, Her Majesty wrote, 'And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.'

Palace sources have now revealed that on Prince Charles' coronation day, Camilla will receive the Queen Mother's crown - who was also known as Queen Consort.
