The Prince of Wales praised his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, after Queen Elizabeth II announced she wanted her to be known as "Queen Camilla" in the future.
The Queen made the announcement on the eve of her Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years on the throne and the death of her father, King George VI, in 1952. Prince Charles, 73, noted the occasion Sunday with a statement on Twitter.

"On this historic day, my wife and I join you all in congratulating Her Majesty The Queen on the remarkable achievement of serving this nation, the Realms and Commonwealth for seventy years," the statement read. "The Queen's devotion to the welfare of all her people inspires still greater admiration with each passing year."
Prince Charles then acknowledged his mother's "sincere wish" that Camilla, 74, be known as "Queen Consort" once he takes the throne. The Queen, 95, also spoke about Prince Charles ascending the throne in her official statement on Saturday.
"We are deeply conscious of the honour represented by my mother's wish. As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout," Prince Charles' statement read.
He continued: "The year of this unprecedented Platinum Jubilee brings opportunity for all to come together in celebrating the service of The Queen, by whose example we will continue to be led in the years to come."
Representatives for Clarence House did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
People reported that Camilla was initially expected to become Princess Consort instead of Queen Consort.
"It is intended that Mrs Parker Bowles should use the title HRH The Princess Consort when The Prince of Wales accedes to The Throne," read the press release shared on the day the couple announced their engagement in February 2005.
Prince Charles and Camilla were married on April 9, 2005, at Windsor Castle. Camilla was given the title Duchess of Cornwall following the ceremony.
