Almost half of British people believe Duchess Camilla should become Queen.
A new opinion poll conducted by YouGov has revealed 49 per cent of Brits would like to see the Duchess of Cornwall become Queen Consort, the traditional title of the wife of a reigning monarch, when her husband, Prince Charles, assumes the throne.
The survey results - released just days before the couple's tenth wedding anniversary - show how the public perception of the 67-year-old royal has changed in the past decade, with only seven percent of people believing she should assume the title when surveyed ten years ago.
However, opposition remains due to the public memory of Charles' first wife, Princess Diana, who divorced the prince in 1996 before being killed in a car accident the following year.
The survey of 1,830 adults in Britain, conducted in March, found that one in four women and three in ten men believe Camilla should be given a lesser title out of "sensitivity" to the late princess.
Nevertheless, aides continue to insist the duchess has no intentions of taking the title of Queen Consort when her husband succeeds Queen Elizabeth II, explaining she intends to be known as the Princess Consort.

Hunting memorabilia has been removed from the royal Sandringham estate.
More than 60 items including ivory and rhino horns have been cleared from the royal trophy room at the Norfolk estate and put into storage, in an attempt to distance the royal family from a bygone era of animal cruelty.
Explaining the decision in a message to visitors as the estate opened again following the winter break on Saturday (04.04.15), the museum said: "Thankfully, due to the work of organisations like the World Wide Fund for Nature, whose President was HRH Prince Philip until 1996, this destructive era is drawing to a close - the camera having replaced the gun in recording the sightings of these magnificent animals."
In total, 62 items including an Indian tiger, stuffed rhino heads, and a leopard have been removed, with the blood-red walls also painted white in an attempt to forget the past.
The decision comes four months after questions were raised about the legality of five of the items in the exhibit, although a source said those responsible for the collection insist no laws have been broken.
Speaking about the decision, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace told the Daily Mail newspaper they had decided to make the changes as part of an "ongoing process" of improving the exhibits.
He said: "Changes were made to the Sandringham museum during the winter closure as part of an ongoing process of updating and refreshing the displays."

Britain's Duke of Kent has been admitted to hospital with a hip injury.
The 79-year-old royal is believed to have dislocated his hip during a stay at the royal Balmoral estate in Scotland, and was taken to the nearby Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Sunday (05.04.15) to receive treatment.
A palace spokesman said: "I can confirm that the Duke of Kent was admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland for treatment of a hip injury."
The Duke - who usually resides at Wren House in Kensington Palace, London, with his wife, Katharine Duchess of Kent - previously had a health scare in 2013 when he suffered a "mild stroke," although he resumed his royal duties a few weeks later.
Although the severity or cause of the accident remains unknown, he is still scheduled to attend an evening reception at St James's Palace to mark the opening of the 2015 Commonwealth Studies Conference next Monday (13.04.15), as well as a string of other engagements.
The Duke - who is the son of the late Prince George - undertakes a number of official royal engagements on behalf of his cousin, Queen Elizabeth, but is perhaps most well known as president of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, which has seen him present several trophies to winners at Wimbledon in previous years.

Jessie Ware thought Britain's Prince William was "very sweet and accommodating".
The singer met the prince when she performed during his recent visit to China and asked him to settle a dispute with her husband Sam Burrows and name their new puppy, and he was happy to oblige by christening the dog Stanley.
Jessie told Grazia magazine: "I was performing in Shanghai during William's visit and I was getting a puppy the next day.
"My husband Sam and I couldn't agree on a name so I thought I'd leave it up to the future king to make the decision. He was very sweet and accommodating."
Jessie used to work at a TV production company with 'Fifty Shades of Grey' author E. L. James and the pair recently enjoyed a "surreal" catch-up at Los Angeles' Chateau Marmont where they celebrated one another's successes.
Jessie said: "It was surreal, going from sitting in an office in Holborn to achieving our dreams.
"We had a little drink and did a double 'Congratulations'."
The 30-year-old star recently admitted she is thankful she found success relatively later in life.
She said: "I'm really happy all this is happening now as when I was younger, the decisions I made maybe wouldn't have been as good.
"I don't know, I guess you just grow up. It's not to say that someone who is 21 can't make good decisions, it's just that I feel a lot better doing it all now I'm a bit older."

Britain's Prince Harry is set to miss the birth of the royal baby.
It is believed the 30-year-old prince will still be undertaking his military duties in Australia and New Zealand later this month and may not be able to visit his new niece or nephew until mid May.
While Harry will arrive in Sydney on Monday (06.03.15) where he will begin a four week placement with the Australian armed forces, his sister in law, the Duchess of Cambridge, recently revealed her second child with her husband Prince William, was due to arrive "mid-to-end of April".
It is thought the royal will return to Europe to attend the Anzac dawn service in Gallipoli with his father, Prince Charles, on April 24 and 25 but if the royal baby comes later than expected Harry will be forced to return down under before he can meet the tot for the first time.
Harry had been on hand to greet his nephew Prince George in person when his brother welcomed his son into the world in July 2013.
He said shortly after the birth: "When I saw him he was crying his eyes out like all babies do I suppose.
"But it's fantastic to have another addition to the family.
"I only hope my brother knows how expensive my babysitting charges are.
"I want to make sure he has a good upbringing, keep him out of harms way and make sure he has fun."

Britain's Prince Harry will report for duty in Australia next week.
The 30-year-old royal - who is set to train with the country's special forces and go on patrol with Aboriginal soldiers - admitted he is "tremendously looking forward" to his time with the Australian army and can't wait to begin his four week placement on Monday.
Harry - who is set to leave the British Army in June - will train with the Australian Defence Force, who want to provide the Prince with an "authentic military experience".
A spokesperson for the royal said: "Prince Harry is tremendously looking forward to starting his four week attachment with the ADF.
"It has been an opportunity he has been keen to explore for a couple of years now and is delighted to be able to do it before completing his military service with the British Armed Forces later this year.
"Prince Harry has trained and served alongside Australian armed forces on operational tours to Afghanistan; he has met them during the Invictus Games; and even trekked to the South Pole with a couple of Australian soldiers.
"Those experiences reinforced the huge admiration and respect he already had for Australian servicemen and women and has stoked his enthusiasm even more to build on those relationships in the next four weeks."
Harry will kick of his tour by paying tribute to Australian servicemen who have given their life for their country.
As part of his only public appearance during his four week stay, the royal will visit the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier in Canberra, reports MailOnline.
He will also train with the Special Air Service after spending time at the Australian Army barracks in Sydney.
