Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, upon marriage the Duchess of York. Later Queen Elizabeth and lastly Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
I think noone can top Camilla. Two decades ago no one would have imagined she would be called not queen consort but the queen.
The Queen Mother. Hitler was afraid of that Leo Woman. She had a husband who adored her in a time when men only married women for children or to cover up they were gay. She became Queen Consort when no expected and raised an amazing woman of the same name who became the longesy reigning Monarch in British History.
Why is Fergie on the list, she’s divorced from Andrew. They’ve lived together for years but they are still technically divorced.
Queen Mary was royal adjacent when she married into the family, so she knew what was going on. Her mother and Queen Victoria were cousins.

The queen mother hands down.
Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were the most successful ones since they lived and died as devoted members of the royal family.
As for the recent royal ladies I would say the ones that are still married and working for the royal family are the successful ones: Queen Camilla, Catherine and Sophie.
I say Kate because all the rest lost their power eventually. Camilla will lose hers but Catherine will be Queen Consort and the legitimate mother of the future King. Diana Meghan and Queen Mother lost their power due to circumstances quickly. the others are noise.
🤷🏼♀️I guess it depends on how you look at it.
I don’t know much about the first 2 but numbers 3,5,6 and 7. 🙄
I mean.. Diana died as a result of being a royal. She and Meghan were also deeply unhappy during their royal lives so I feel like neither of them should be a contender.
Camilla was certainly persistent in pursuing her interest in becoming Queen. So I’d say she’s the most successful.
Kate.
She had a ~relatively~ easy path to marriage (when compared to Camilla), has stayed married to her Prince (unlike Diana and Fergie) and the bulk of the public likes her (unlike Camilla and Meghan.) They also pay attention when she does public engagements (unlike Sophie who people don’t seem to care much about).
Sophie.
Meghan because she got out
Queen Mary was engaged to two royal heirs – something I think only Catherine of Aragon did. So she probably deserves it
The only person who made money on their own in that group is Meghan. Everyone else either inherited it or married into it.
Has to be Camilla…from Side Piece to Queen is pretty impressive.
The Queen Mother I would say. She was married to a prince who was second in line to inherit and his parent did not approve of him marrying her. And then she ended up becoming Queen and then Queen Mother.
Camilla
Charles got what he wanted and his affair partner became Queen.
definitely mette-marit
Marie Antoinette
I would say it’s Sophie. Compared to others she didn’t have to deal with baggage which comes with RF. Not only was she working in PR but she married a spare. Its honestly disgusting how much s*it women who marry into RF have to deal with. It started with Diana and fergie and has only been exaggerated with Rise of Paparazzi culture and Social Media. I worry what will happen when George and Louis starts dating someone
The Queen Mother, for sure. Hitler called her the most dangerous woman in Europe for her position and rallying ability in the national consciousness, and then after she became “the Queen Mum”, she absolutely personified in her public figure the national grandmother image (even I remember feeling that way when I was young when she died).
The Queen Mother
Sophie and the Queen Mother for sure.
I love this quote from the Queen Mother about the possibility of her and the children fleeing after the outbreak of WWII
>*The children won’t go without me. I won’t leave the King. And the King will never leave.*
She never expected her husband to be King, but she did a stand up job of rising to the role of Queen.
Queen Mary. It’s considered by many historians that she ran the country at a time the King had more authority. She oversaw and pushed for Edward VIII abdication, she oversaw things throughout WWII, and absolutely shaped Elizabeth throughout her long reign.
A woman who married in, and helped create the entire 20th Century. That’s pretty successful.
Depends what is successful.
For being an icon: Diana
For being a fashion icon: Diana and Kate
For a different heritage: Kate (first commoner) and Meghan (first POC).
The others will have their place in history as being consorts during wartime. No one will care about Camilla (who will always be affected by her reputation) and much less Fergie.
I’m going way back to Anne of Cleves. She ended up wealthy with her own household and property plus no lunatic husband to deal with.
The OG steel marshmallow, Queen Mum.
I’m going with the Queen Mother for this one—she absolutely made a huge difference in George VI’s ability to take the rei(g)ns after the abdication.
I dunno. Megan wasn’t and isn’t. I dunno the others. But she isn’t successful… And wasn’t and never.. yeah.
Queen Mother
Definitely not Meghan, Camilla or Fergie. Cheesus 🙄
Kate! I think William and Kate’s lengthy courtship helped to successfully prepare Kate for royal life. W+K appear to have a very stable and loving relationship. In addition, Kate seems to have a great head on her shoulders and comes from a supportive and loving family. IMO, Kate is a fabulous PoW. The BRF is lucky to have her.
