It seems each public event is bringing Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles closer to the altar, and a recent survey shows that more than half of the British public would approve of the couple tying the knot.
In a Daily Telegraph poll to mark the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, 55 percent of those questioned said the Prince of Wales should marry his longtime consort. However, most said Camilla should not become Queen: one-third think she should be given a different title, while nearly half believe she should be given no title at all.
It would appear the British public is warming to the idea of Charles taking Camilla’s hand. In August, a similar poll by The Guardian found around 43 per cent were in favour of them tying the knot.
The poll of 3,000 people, conducted for the Telegraph by YouGov.com, also gauged British sentiments toward the Queen. The results showed strong support for the monarch, with 65 per cent of those polled saying she has done an excellent or good job during her reign, and most agreeing she has a strong sense of duty and represents the country well abroad.
