“This celebration also gives me a time to reflect on the goodwill shown by people of all nationalities, creeds and ages in this country and around the world over the years.”

Queen Consort is the title held by the Queen Mother when she was the wife of King George VI.

The reigning king is technically known as Queen Regnum.

A source emphasized: “This is His Majesty’s wish. She’s spent 70 years on the throne and is pretty clear about what she does and doesn’t want.”

Charles, 73, and Camilla, 74, married in a private civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall in April 2005.

Aides said at the time Camilla “intended” to be known as Princess Consort, the first in British history.

Careful use of “intended” has left the door open for this to change in the future.

And any mention of Princess Consort was removed from Charles’ website in a revamp in 2018.

The couple are said to have been informed of the announcement as they spent the weekend at their home in Highgrove, Gloucs.

Their spokesman said: “The Prince of Wales will issue a statement congratulating the Queen on Accession Day.

“He and the Duchess of Cornwall were deeply moved and honored by Her Majesty’s words.”

It is believed the Queen first planned to announce Camilla’s title change in 2019 at the 50th anniversary of Charles’ ascension to Prince of Wales. Sources close to William said he and Charles had talked about Camilla becoming Queen Consort recently. They revealed: “William was fine with it.”

Prince Harry, who now lives in California, has also been informed.

Some fear the Duke of Sussex, who has complained about Charles’ shortcomings as a father, will launch attacks against Charles and Camilla in his upcoming bio.

A royal source said the decision and timing of the Queen’s announcement was entirely hers to make.

They said, “This is Her Majesty reflecting on what she has seen in her mother and father and in her own marriage. The role is demanding and in itself a sacrifice.

“It is true that the title that people have had for about 1,000 years should go to the Duchess.”

Camilla is said to have impressed the Queen with her hard work. In June 2016 she was appointed Privy Commissioner. And last month, the Queen announced Camilla would be awarded the Order of the Garter.

A source added: “It is clear that the Duchess and Queen have a good relationship. Your Majesty acknowledges all that Camilla has done and the positive impact she has had on Charles. “
