The Queen will not attend the wedding of Charles and Camilla, the couple have announced.
She will, however, attend the church blessing after the civil ceremony.
The couple are due to get married at the Guildhall in Windsor.
More Follows...
I would not attend if I had a son marrying a horse..
Ivan, BTW what is up with Hampstead & Highgate MP Glenda Jackson? I saw her one day During the Prime Minister Question Period. What a B*tch!
She did one great thing when she portrayed ERI. Great british series.
He'll still be Prince Harry. I suspect he'll be made a Duke of someplace. Obersalzberg, I suppose. :)
Regards, Ivan
Is that a stable (horse barn)? lol
However, and seriously, when the Queen dies, Charles will be the king, not William.....all speculation to the contrary. What the Queen is doing in attending the blessing (but not the wedding) is delicately balancing Church of England, State and traditional necessities with her own personal love for her son and his happiness.
I'm not reading anything into her decision and announcement other than it's well done. It's politically correct, it smooths a lot of bristling feathers and it's royal eyewash for the media and masses.

I pray that your William understands (and bears) the weight of his burden that lies ahead. May he honor the people, the crown, the nation, and his commitments to all of them.
Again, best of luck to Chuck and Camilla.
Hampstead is a part of London filled with snooty, exceedingly rich Socialists, who were so bloody proud of themselves when they kept Starbucks out. Glenda Jackson is a snooty, exceedingly rich Socialist who is bloody proud of herself for achieving precisely nothing worthwhile in Parliament.

<David Letterman>How can Camilla marry him if he doesn't show up?</David Letterman>
What is it with these Windsor males? Diana may have had emotional problems, but she was drop-dead beautiful and Charles left her for a woman with a face that has been charitably compared to the TV horse, Mr. Ed.
Who was the other slut in Camilla's family? Was it her grandmother or great-grandmother? Does anybody know? Madivan could probably answer this one...
I guess that says it all.
bttt
I thought you might be interested in this thread snugs.

Alice Keppel, her grand-grandmother, was mistress to Edward VII.
Regards, Ivan
I believe it was her great-grandmother and her name was Alice Keppel. She was the mistress of Edward VII (Victoria's son). There was a little inset article about her in People magazine this week which is why I know this otherwise completely useless bit of information :) Alice was not much of a looker either.
You've got to be kidding...
LOL... Ur killing me.... LOL
Maybe Camilla and her grandmother can share their secrets with the rest of us women.
Whenever I hear Camilla's name, I can almost hear horses in the distance snorting and whinnying ala Young Frankenstein when Frau Blucher's name was mentioned.
