Queen Elizabeth II has no plans to change state prayers to include the name of her new daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Cornwall, Buckingham Palace said Sunday.
No reason was given, but a palace spokeswoman denied the decision was a snub to the former Camilla Parker Bowles, who married Prince Charles in April.
The prayers ask for blessings for the queen, her husband Prince Philip, and Charles. They also ask God to bless "all the royal family."
The duchess "is included with other members of the royal family," a palace spokeswoman said Sunday. She denied it was meant as a slight.
However Charles' first wife, Princess Diana, was mentioned by name in the prayers from the time of her marriage to Charles in 1981 until their divorce in 1996.
