Britain will officially usher in a new era in its monarchy next year, when the coronation of King Charles III will take place on May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abbey.
Camilla will not only be by the King's side as he is formally crowned, but have a ceremony of her own to anointed as the Queen Consort.
After the King's six-part coronation ceremony, the Queen Consort will have one ceremony of her own.
Of course, there have been no Queen Consorts in our recent memories, the last one being the Queen Mother alongside King George VI in 1937.
However, this brings up the question of why Prince Philip wasn't crowned when his wife Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.
Why wasn't Prince Philip the king?
According to common law, wives of kings are known as queen consorts, but the husbands of queens are known only prince consorts.
The reason for this is that the title of queen can mean either a "female monarch" or "wife of the monarch," however the title of king can only refer to a reigning monarch
This is why Prince Philip, also known as Duke of Edinburgh, was not given the title of king despite being married to the Queen.
While he did not have his coronation ceremony, he paid homage to his wife during her crowning in June 1953
He said: "I, Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, do become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God."
Other speculation around Prince Philip's title, according to royal author Nigel Cawthorne, was that Prince Philip was born outside the UK and so couldn't be king.
Philip was a prince of Greece and Denmark before marrying into the British Royal Family. It's likely that he followed the precedent set by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, who was not made king consort because he was from outside of the UK.
What will happen during Camilla's coronation?
The last Queen Consort to be crowned was the Queen Mother alongside King George VI in 1937.
The ceremony will start with The Archbishop of Canterbury anointing her head with holy oil, which is a ritual carried out with the monarch as well.
The Queen's ring will be placed on her hand and a crown lowered onto her head, before she is presented with a sceptre and an ivory rod.
The Queen Mother's ceremony ended with her bowing "reverently" to her husband.
Camilla's ceremony is likely to be the same and she will officially become Queen Consort, in accordance with the Queen's announcement back in February 2022.
The late monarch said in a statement: "When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when the time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service."
