Duchess Camilla will be known as Queen Consort

At the time, the royal family's official website stated: "Unless decided otherwise, a queen consort is crowned with the king, in a similar but simpler ceremony. If the new sovereign is a queen, her consort is not crowned or anointed at the coronation ceremony."

Camilla's new regal title hasn't always been definite, however. Back in 2005 when Prince Charles and Camilla tied the knot, the couple released a statement explaining how they'd "use the title HRH the Princess Consort when the Prince of Wales accedes to the throne."
