  Buckingham Palace released King Charles’ coronation invitation on Tuesday, in which his wife was titled Queen Camilla for the first time. The intricate invitation, which is printed on recycled card and includes an illustrated border of wild flowers and the Green Man from British folklore, was headed with the text: “The coronation of their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla.” Camilla took on the title of Queen Consort following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband’s accession to the throne. “It made sense to refer to Her Majesty as the Queen Consort in the early months of His Majesty’s reign, to distinguish from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” a royal source quoted by PA Media explained. “‘Queen Camilla’ is the appropriate title to set against ‘King Charles’ on the invitation,” the royal source added. “The coronation is an appropriate time to start using ‘Queen Camilla’ in an official capacity.
