Rules about such tihings get adjusted, and presented as being traditional even when they've only just been invented .

The term "Queen Consort" has never been used for ay previous partners of Kings. Nor has Princess Consort. Prince Albert was the only partner of a queens regnant to be known as Prince Consort, and of coirse Philip never had the title.

Actually, in some ways I'd be more inclined to use the expression "naive" of Charles rather than Diana. But I've never really got itnto Palace gossip. I tend to see them as part of the landscape of this strange country.
