Princess Anne has not been elevated to "Queen Mother Designate" by King Charles, nor has Sarah Ferguson's (Fergie's) supposed hope for such a role been shattered. This appears to be a sensational rumor without basis in official announcements or royal protocol.
Title Realities
The "Queen Mother" title is traditionally granted to a king's surviving mother (e.g., Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother after George VI's death), not siblings or others. Anne holds the ceremonial Princess Royal title since 1987, reflecting her seniority and workload as the hardest-working royal, but no new "designate" honor exists. Charles has bestowed practical roles like expanded patronages, not legacy titles.
Fergie's Position
Ferguson, divorced from Andrew, has no claim to Queen Mother status and focuses on health recovery, Windsor relocation, and memoirs amid Andrew's scandals. Past empathy for Meghan contrasts current silence; no rivalry with Anne is documented.
