# The Prince of Wales says the Queen’s devotion to the welfare of all her people inspires still greater admiration with each passing year. Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 70 years on the throne privately yesterday. She started her reign when she was 25-years-old after her father died on the sixth of February 1952. The Queen released a statement in which she said it was her sincere wish that the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, be known as Queen Consort when Charles becomes King. The Prince of Wales says he is deeply conscious of the honour represented by his mother’s wish.
