Hmmm, you are right about Kate and Camilla they were commoners before they married royalty inasmuch as they fulfilled the definition of being without title or rank but both were never one of the common people, not with their connections and wealth. Nice enough people no doubt, but common, never.
Also I believe the queens late husband was a commoner as well... he was a soldier when they were married I believe
Got to tell you the Queens husband, Prince Philip, is still alive and kicking! As for being a commoner, no, he is of royal blood, a prince of the Greek royal family.
He renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles, converted from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism, and became a naturalised British subject, adopting the surname Mountbatten from his British maternal grandparents. His wife made him a Prince of the United Kingdom in 1957.
