King Charles III has issued a Royal Warrant stating that Camilla should be referred to as Queen Camilla in prayers said for or referring to the Royal Family.

Wednesday, 1 June 2022, 6:00 Moniek Bloks 0

The Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II was an honour that was bestowed on female members of the British Royal Family, and it is worn on formal occasions.
