LITTLE ROCK — Prince Charles has reopened a sensitive topic in Britain by suggesting that his wife, Camilla, may take the title of queen when he becomes monarch. The comments came in an NBC interview recorded in August, which was broadcast and Web-posted Friday. Excerpts were aired on British television and received high attention in the week Charles’ son Prince William, who is second in line to the throne, announced his engagement to Kate Middleton. Camilla legally will be queen if Charles takes the throne, but when the couple married in 2005 officials said she planned to adopt the title Princess Consort rather than the more traditional Queen Consort. NBC’s Brian Williams asked the 62-year-old heir to the throne if Camilla would become “Queen of England, if and when you become the monarch.” Charles hesitated as he replied, “That’s, well ... we’ll see won’t we? That could be.” The role of consort carries no constitutional power. Charles married his second wife eight years after the death of Princess Diana.

Rapper DMX was arrested in Phoenix for investigation of violating probation by using drugs, authorities said. Court documents released Friday allege that the 39-year-old performer used cocaine and OxyContin, failed to submit to drug testing and drove on a suspended license. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested Thursday by Maricopa County probation officers and was being held without bail in the county jail.His attorney, Glenn Allen, said he had been working with his client and probation officials and expected the arrest. Simmons was placed on probation last year after convictions for attempted aggravated assault for throwing a food tray at a jail guard, and theft for trying to use a fake name to avoid paying a $7,500 hospital bill. He has completed probation for 2009 felony convictions for cruelty to animals and two drug counts. He also is accused of failing to participate in counseling programs and make required payments.
