Prince Charles to marry Camilla

The prince and Mrs Parker Bowles first met at a polo match in 1970
Prince Charles will marry his long-term partner Camilla Parker Bowles on 8 April, Clarence House says.
The ceremony will be held at Windsor Castle and Mrs Parker Bowles will take the title HRH the Duchess of Cornwall.

When the Prince of Wales, 56, becomes King, Camilla, 57, will not be known as Queen Camilla but as the Princess Consort, Clarence House added.

Charles said he and his wife-to-be were "absolutely delighted" at the engagement.

The Duke of Edinburgh and I are very happy that the Prince of Wales and Mrs Parker Bowles are to marry

The move will end years of speculation on a relationship which has spanned the decades since they first met in 1971.

The wedding will be a civil ceremony, which will be followed by a service of prayer and dedication in St George's Chapel at which the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, will preside.

"The Duke of Edinburgh and I are very happy that the Prince of Wales and Mrs Parker Bowles are to marry," said the Queen, in a statement issued on her behalf by Buckingham Palace.

Charles was married to Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

The princess famously referred to Mrs Parker Bowles as one of the contributing factors in the breakdown of her marriage to Charles.

The couple, who had two sons - princes William and Harry - had divorced when Diana died.

A spokeswoman for Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, said he would not be making any comment on the wedding announcement.

Conservative leader Michael Howard said he was "delighted" at the news, but Downing Street has refused to comment until a full statement is released by Clarence House.

The marriage is likely to be a sensitive issue because Mrs Parker Bowles is divorced and her former husband is still alive.

If he became king, Charles would be the supreme governor of the Church of England and some Anglicans remain opposed to the remarriage of divorcees.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said: "I am pleased that Prince Charles and Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles have decided to take this important step."

He added that he hoped the marriage would be "a source of comfort and strength" to the couple and those close to them.

BBC Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell said: "This is a step not without considerable risk by the Royal Family.

"They will be watching very carefully to see how public opinion unfolds."

Last year, a poll indicated that more Britons support Prince Charles marrying Camilla Parker Bowles than oppose it.

Of those who responded to a Populus poll, 32% said they would support Charles if he remarried, while 29% were opposed.

However, most people - 38% - said they did not care, while 2% had no opinion.

Isn't it funny how luv works? He had that sweet 'thing' but never cared much for her. His heart is old. And he goes for the old. I wish them both sweetness.

I here that she can't be Queen.

Ebyboy · Post by **Ebyboy** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 3:15 pm

Yup, she can't. Her official title would be "Princess Consort". But then after all these years I doubt that being Queen was the object anyway. They are probably happy enough to be able to get married.

Why don't you start by avoiding double posts that are 7 minutes apart?

I agree that we really shouldn't care though.

From all indication, Diana was just a pawn, she was used, a 19 year old virgin procured to sired kids for the royal family, then discarded, Prince Charles was "doing" Camilla before he got "contracted" to Diana

Unless the old bag gets bumped off, she might live a long life and my gut tells me she might bypass Charlie Boy and hand over the throne str8 to Willie.

Diana was also banging guys on the side. I hear she banged most of her servers and riding instructors. There's even a rumor that Harry is not the son of Charles. Old boy, let them marry. that is love.

I can't understand that British monarchy sef. All this noise about two dumpy, crusty looking, tea drinking people. I guess they belong together.

that rumour is very strong .. i still wonder why people think Diana was a saint!! .. Charles can marry Camilla but he should abduct the throne just as his 'uncle' did .. no remarried divorcee should claim to be head of the church
