I wasn't sure if the Queen would give Camilla an HRH title. The Dutches
of Windsor, Wallis Simpson, never got one.

Camilla's full title is, Her Royal Highness The Princess Charles, Princess
of Wales and Countess of Chester, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay,
Countess of Carrick, Baroness of Renfrew, Lady of the Isles, Princess
of Scotland

The current QE 2 is bought by a hotel chain in Dubai and will get a
permanent bert at palm jumeira resort.
