The royals will be dusting off a title that hasn't been used since 1837.
We dig into alllll the different types of Queen titles, but TLDR; a Queen Dowager is the official name for a widow of a king. If Camilla becomes a Queen Dowager, she'll retain all the importance and perks of her previous position as the consort, just without the title. She'll also likely be referred to as "The Queen Dowager," similarly to how Queen Elizabeth's mother was referred to as "The Queen Mother.
The last Queen styled as Queen Dowager was Queen Adelaide , who used the title in 1837 after her husband passed away and Queen Victoria ascended the throne. In case you were wondering!
