So much to say this week... Firstly how did Queen Consort Camila become known as Queen to the world's media? I didn't sign up to that and don't think it's right. It will always be Queen Consort Camila to me backed by this information taken from the Royal Family Website - What is a Queen Consort? The Queen Consort is the title of the woman who is the wife of the reigning king.

Secondly I never knew this WRQ had a start time for first entries (mainly because I'm usually on the far end of the deadline rather than the start) but it got me thinking that in the past I may have submitted entries a bit early @Mi-Amigo so apologies for that. 😬

Finally and probably most importantly, I have submitted my guesses (I mean entry) via PM to you Mi-Amigo. I enjoyed the questions but not sure I've done too well this time, I'll be sure to come back for the answers tomorrow.

Note: I didn't make this gif but do love the typo in it. Maybe I'll call Camilla, Constort from now on! 🤣
