And it's all in the words.  The meaning is the same.

Yes, Warren -- she became HRH The Duchess of Cornwall on the marriage.
That's
another political decision; Duke of Cornwall is Charles's secondary title
after Prince of Wales, but a lot of people were uneasy about having Camilla
be
referred to as Princess of Wales, even though that's exactly who she is, in
light of the previous PoW's popularity. Then, to avoid the embarrassment of
a
queen consort whose marriage to the monarch would be less than completely
acceptable to the church, she'll be known as HRH The Princess Consort when
Charles accedes.

One thing we Brits can do better than anyone else is find a publicly
acceptable solution to all sorts of messy problems!
