Camilla will get the title "princess consort" when Charles become king; a compromise that has never been made before, because of her unpopularity. Normally a king's wife automatically becomes queen (consort) upon her husband's accession.
Kate automatically becomes queen when William becomes king.
(Again, "queen consort" instead of "queen regnant", meaning she's just the king's wife instead of actually wielding any power of her own. By contrast Elizabeth is queen regnant: she's the grand poobah who actually rules. Philip was just "prince consort" because there had never been a "king consort"; "king" is the highest title in the land.)
