King Charles III's wife has been officially identified as Queen Camilla for the first time, with Buckingham Palace using the title on invitations for the monarch's May 6 coronation.
Camilla, who until now has been described as queen consort, is given equal billing on the ornate medieval style invitations that will be sent to more than 2,000 guests and were unveiled on Tuesday.
Charles and Camilla met long before the future king married Diana in 1981 and their relationship continued throughout the tumultuous marriage. That made Camilla an object of scorn among Diana's many fans, who rallied around the princess as her marriage collapsed. The eight young pages are either family friends or close relatives of Charles and Camilla and will carry the robes of prominent figures during the day.
The Green Man is "an ancient figure from British folklore, symbolic of spring and rebirth, to celebrate the new reign," the palace said.
