It makes sense that Camilla doesn't use the "Princess of Wales" title since it's so associated with Diana, but not with the "Queen" title. When/if Charles becomes king, he probably can change the agreement as he sees fit.

Up to 2015, the British sovereign had to agree to any marriage for the entire extended royal family. Now it's just the first six in line to the throne. Most of the ruling house of Europe had similar laws, to ensure that family members married spouses of the right religion and status.
