Prince Charles to marry Camilla

Prince Charles is set to marry his long-term partner Camilla Parker-Bowles, Clarence House says.

No wedding date has been confirmed at this stage, but reports have suggested 6 April is one possible date.

The move will end years of speculation on their relationship which has spanned decades after they first met in 1970.

The Prince of Wales, who is the heir to the throne, was previously married to Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

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

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

Mrs Parker Bowles' current position has meant that her status was dogged with problems, including her seating at social functions away from her partner.

Last June, Mrs Parker Bowles was mentioned in the Prince's accounts, which marked a new realm of acceptance.

What would the British tabloids do if there was no Royal family?

Why should our taxes support any of the inbred f**ks? Get rid I say!

Aged spoilt equestrian mounts old nag officially.


Sounds like a typewriting exercise, or speech therapy.

If he's marrying a divorcé, doesn't that mean he's not eligible to become King?

Nah. Then can do anything. They're royalty.

They can have morganatic marriages to Catholics in secret.

And lock their official wives out of the coronation service too.

So they've changed the rules since the time of those fascist symps, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor?

Well seing as the Church of England was set up so that they could divorce and remarry whoever they liked, I think that's a tad unlikely. Although every talking head will come out and have an opinion on it ,

I don't recall it being impossible for him to marry Wallis and for her to be king, just that in those more hypocritical times it was seen as bad form to have a Shanghai brothel trained Yankee divorcee on one of the thrones of empire.


It had only been a few decades since one of Victoria's offspring had had to go abroad 'diplomatically' after being caught in a gay brothel in Fitzrovia, after all.

And of course, Edward VII had been openly having affairs with the likes of Jersey Lily despite being married to Alexandra of Denmark.


They're almost as bad as Yankee presidents.

[Saras]

Almost?
