foster joins us from buckingham palace in london. take us through what s behind in the announcement by the queen. reporter: well, prince charles has never made a secret of the fact that he wanted camilla to be queen when he becomes king. but as you say, very sensitive topic because camilla is seen as a player in the breakdown of that marriage with diana, and queen was a title that was destined for diana. charles could have waited until he becomes king to just make camilla queen. but it s interesting that they re doing it this way. this is really a sign that the queen is giving her blessing to that and her support, really, to that future monarchy. this is all at a time where she s taking stock of her 70 years as monarch. but still with no plans to retire. during her reign, queen elizabeth has celebrated three landmark jubilees. silver in 1977. golden in 2002.
