The journey from royal outsider to queen is not an easy one, as demonstrated by the upcoming coronation of Camilla. While she has won over the late queen Elizabeth and many others with her wisdom and strength, there are still significant hurdles to overcome in the public's perception. Common side effects of the transition include resistance to change and confusion over titles. For instance, while Camilla will be crowned queen consort, some people prefer the term "queen" and are resistant to the change. This issue, along with others, was evident in the backlash against the oath of allegiance. Ultimately, it will take time and effort to fully accept and embrace Camilla as queen, especially for those who remember the complex dynamics of the Camilla, Diana, and Charles saga.

While some people might want to see an end to the monarchy, others value its historical significance and the sense of unity it brings to the country. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to make an informed decision based on their beliefs and priorities. It's also worth noting that history provides valuable context and lessons. For instance, the monarchy's past mistakes and flaws don't negate its current role and significance. Moreover, modern monarchs face different challenges and expectations than their predecessors.
