Prince Charles to Marry Camilla Parker Bowles
Thursday, February 10, 2005
LONDON Prince Charles announced Thursday that he will marry his lover Camilla Parker Bowles after more than 30 years of an on-again, off-again romance that was blamed for destroying the prince's marriage to Princess Diana.
The Prince of Wales and Parker Bowles will marry on Friday, April 8, at Windsor Castle, said Clarence House (search), Charles' residence and office.
They will be married in a largely private civil ceremony at the palace, not in a Church of England (search) service.
The April wedding which will not have the pomp and ceremony of the fairy-tale-like 1981 wedding of Diana and Charles, which was broadcast live on television worldwide.
"There will subsequently be a service of prayer and dedication in St. George's Chapel at which the Archbishop of Canterbury will preside," said Clarence House.
The decision on the type of service reflects the fact that both are divorcés, and that Parker Bowles' former husband is still living.

"Love is truly blind..."
Looks aren't everything.....
Why?
They're both Madeleine. Victoria is a brunette.
Yes. My husbands comment was that it is interesting that the head of the Anglican Church is getting married in a civil ceremony.
HHmmmmmmm.
Looks aren't everything.....

PING
I am really happy that they are getting married. I hope we get to see it on TV but I doubt it will be filmed.
Yeah, that's kind of what the "love is truly blind" saying is all about isn't it?
Sadly, Diana was blinded by love, too.
Fills it out; about to come out of it!
True, but if I remember correctly it was after being cheated on and deserted by Charles. The whole saga is a sad, pathetic mess. I feel sorry for the boys and hope they can, or perhaps already have, come to some kind of understanding with their new "mum".
He married Diana to produce a suitable heir and a spare.
I thought there was some rule that the crown prince (or princess) can't marry someone who is divorced. Or who is Catholic. Is this still true?
Don't think he can marry a Catholic but Henry VIII created the CoE so he could get divorced and get remarried.
Not sure if we can have a Catholic PM either although all other religions are fine.
...spurring countless TV movies.
.....with really really bad actors.
Well, the horse-faced hyena sKerry married Tah-Ray-Zah!
