Margaret, this time I listened/watched this video with a headset and your impressive presentation skills became even more obvious. You are articulate, have great vocal variety and combine that with a voice that is very soothing and personable with a little dash of humor here and there. Your content and delivery are top notch and very informative and entertaining. I'm looking forward to experiencing more videos.

@margaretstockton-davies3828
@margaretstockton-davies3828 2 года назад
Essentially, the Queen has said when she dies and Charles becomes King, she would like Camilla to take the title of Queen Consort. Usually, the Kings wife is referred to as Queen but Camilla was a divorced woman - and not very popular - when she married Charles so there was talk that she shouldn’t get the title. Her Majesty has said to us that it’s her wish for Camilla to be addressed as Queen, but she won’t have any power. It’ll just be her title as wife of the King. Hope that clears it up!
