Duchess of Cornwall was one of the titles of Diana, Princess of Wales.
The only women who have been known as duchesses of Cornwall are Mary of Teck, who used the title from January to November 1901, and Camilla Parker Bowles, who assumed title upon her marriage to Prince Charles in 2005. The latter does not use the title of Princess of Wales because it is still popularly associated with her husband's first wife, Diana, who died in 1997.
