Camilla's official title is, as Diana's was before her, extremely long 
winded. She is the current Princess of Wales but because that title was 
still associated with Diana she generally uses another part of her long 
winded title instead. That is she uses the Duchess of Cornwall. In
Scotland 
she uses the normal title for the wife of the heir. That is Duchess of 
Rothesay.
