The official invitations to the Coronation have used the phrase “Queen Camilla” for the first time.
She has been known up until now as “Camilla, the Queen Consort”. The invitations refer to the “Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla”.
Queen Camilla has close links to the Sussex Downs Line. She grew up in an 18th-century country house in Plumpton near Lewes and was baptised at St. Peter’s Church in Firle. Her mother was a charity worker who volunteered at the Chailey Heritage Foundation which helps young children with disabilities.
Also in Lewes is Anne of Cleves House – Anne of Cleves was Queen of England from 6 January to 12 July 1540 as the fourth wife of King Henry VIII. The stunning timber-framed medieval house dates back to the 15th century. It was given to Anne of Cleves at the end of her short-lived marriage to Henry VIII – although she never lived there.
Taking the train from central London to Lewes is a green form of transport and emits 71% less in greenhouse gases than an average car journey.
