Current marital status
Yes, Camilla and Charles are still married as of 2025. They remain the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall (and Camilla additionally holds the title Duchess of Edinburgh since 2023). They have continued to appear together at official events and maintain a long-standing private partnership that began well before their marriage in April 2005. No credible reports indicate any legal separation or divorce.
Background and context
Camilla and Charles began their relationship decades before marrying. While their wedding on 9 April 2005 was widely publicized, many of their key milestones occurred earlier or continue to shape their public duties. Their marriage followed significant personal histories and evolved alongside Charles’s transition to king and Camilla’s gradual expansion of royal responsibilities.
Pre-marriage partnership
Camilla and Charles first met in the early 1970s and maintained a close connection across the years, despite other relationships. Their bond was often noted by royal observers, who saw a lasting personal attachment beneath the public reticence. The couple’s decision to marry only after both had previously divorced reflected a carefully considered step toward formalizing their long-standing relationship.
The wedding and title adjustments
On 9 April 2005 they married in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall, followed by a religious blessing. Upon marriage, Camilla became the Duchess of Cornwall, and later Duchess of Edinburgh in March 2023. Charles, having become king in September 2022, balances new constitutional duties with long-standing charitable commitments alongside Camilla.
