SIR – Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was the only commoner to become Queen Consort to a UK monarch in the last century, and was a widely-loved figure.
As Queen Mother she continued to perform public duties and never retired.
So why all this humming and hawing about making Camilla Queen when Charles inherits the throne?
As Duchess of Cornwall she has carried out her duties with aplomb and endeared herself to everyone.
