There\u2019s no denying the marriage between King Charles and Queen Camilla<\/a> has been a success, and the Queen reportedly gets along well with Prince William and Kate Middleton. But there\u2019s also a lot of history there, with King Charles and Queen Camilla having an affair for years while he was still married to Princess Diana\u2014and the loyalty his sons, particularly Prince William<\/a>, who is set to become the next King, feel to their mother.<\/p>\n

Now, King Charles is trying to cement Camilla<\/a>\u2019s place in the royal family, in a way that will live on even if he\u2019s gone. The King formally bestowed the title of Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom on his wife on July 16, right before the Queen\u2019s 78th birthday. She is the first woman to hold the honorary title.<\/p>\n

The title can only be given on the nomination of the First Sea Lord, currently\u00a0Sir Gwyn Jenkins. According to him, the Queen\u2019s new role will \u201cfurther enhance Her Majesty\u2019s relationship with the Service.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to HM Naval Base Devonport,\u201d he said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>. \u201cHer Majesty\u2019s visit has been a tremendous boost to morale, and the honorary appointment reflects the high regard in which Her Majesty is held by all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, Charles famously named Camilla \u201cQueen Consort\u201d when he ascended the throne, England\u2019s first in eight decades. Afterwards, he issued a Royal Warrant to change his wife\u2019s title to \u201cQueen Camilla\u201d before their joint coronation.<\/p>\n

This all comes as reports indicate William will \u201coverhaul\u201d the monarchy once he becomes King. According to the Times,<\/a>\u00a0he is looking to start by changing the coronation service to be \u201cmuch simpler.\u201d William is said to be \u201cmindful of how much the monarchy costs\u201d and would like the family to reflect modern life. \u201cHe wants to make sure the whole thing has even more impact and remains relevant,\u201d a friend told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been thinking about the future for years, and he knows that what his grandmother did and what his father does is an evolution,\u201d Jason Knauf, CEO of Prince William\u2019s\u00a0Earthshot Prize, explained. \u201cThere are traditions and things that won\u2019t change, but this thinking about the next [role] is how is this going to be reflective of him?\u201d<\/p>\n

Knauf added, \u201cIt\u2019s all an evolution, making it work for what people expect of him and leaders of his generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

There have also been recent reports that William is not exactly on board with the possibility of reconciling with his brother, Prince Harry<\/a>. That all seems to be King Charles<\/a>. The Daily Beast\u00a0reported that, according to a friend of William, \u201cHe absolutely f***ing hates\u201d his brother Harry. That same source also told the outlet that. \u201cWilliam will never, ever forgive Harry for what he has done. Charles is the king; he can do what he likes. But make no mistake: William believes with every fiber of his being that giving Harry and Meghan back any royal imprimatur is a huge mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does that mean this overhaul of the monarchy and the coronation has no place for Prince Harry? What about Queen Camilla? It\u2019s all a waiting game now.<\/p>\n
