I recall it being stated she will not take the title of Queen...

 

I would not respect her as queen, and I think I am speaking for many others.

 

May be by the time Charles inherits the throne he decides he is well past retirement age and abdicates so he can spend more time with his plants. 

I believe her title will be Consort rather than Queen.

Yes, it must be tough having 4 palaces to look after and all that worry about whether one's equerry puts enough toothpaste on one's toothbrush. There is some comfort that they have managed to salt away a few million in offshore accounts in case of a rainy day.

Congratulations to the couple - many of us have lived their lives with Liz as the Queen - her popularity is at an all time high.

To be honest if I was the Queen , I would not mind a handsome equerry sorting out the tricky problem of the quantity of toothpaste. 

 

I doubt she had a clue that there was money offshore - think heads may turn up on spikes outside the Tower of London for that decision?
