apb could still continue to take communion in the catholic church if he and anne married, however i doubt we'll see these to take that step.

Unless they married in the RC Church, which I dont see being allowed by QEII, APB would be considered to be living in sin (as far as the RC Church) and would not be allowed to take communion. If he converts to C of E, thats another story.

Yes, I agree it's totally unlikely, complete fantasy. I don't see the Princess divorcing again, honestly, whatever the tabloids will say about it. I'm sure she and Laurence have their issues to work out, but they just have that rock stable feeling about them, you know? I just can't see them shaking things up, not those two!

APB is already considered to be living in sin by the Catholic church.

a couple of things:

1) if apb has received an annulment from the church then he isn't living in sin (unless of course his present marriage hasn't be been blessed by the church)

2) a catholic can marry a non catholic and it isn't considered a sin. the traditional way would be for the catholic to request a dispensation. since it's not a sin to marry outside the catholic church, the catholic can still receive holy communion.

I doubt Andrew PB would ever divorce Rosemary when she is alive and then I don't think there is a possibility for the Princess Royal and him to get married anyway. In the daily mail article written by Christopher Wilson, he concluded that "it is better not to marry the love of your life". I think the Princess Royal and Andrew PB are just best friends and he is the love of her life. Their spouses and themselves have understandings about that. It's life. Everyone is more realistic.
.But I always find a bit sad and a bit ironic that the love triangele Anne-Andrew-Camilla-Charles ended up like this. But we are lucky to have Peter, Zara, Tom, Laura, William and Harry as a reuslt.

Here's an article about an engagement Anne had yesterday, 29 June 2007.
The article unfortunately contains only a very small pic..I think she wore
something grey and blue

Thanks iceflower.

Anne looks really smart in those pictures.

You are most welcome, Skydragon and I totally agree with you

Thanks iceflower!

Princess Anne is certainly a very busy royal, it tires me out just think of all the travel!

**iceflower** · #15 07-09-2007, 03:32 PM

Indeed she is, Skydragon

Here are the newest pics:

Thank you iceflower.

I know we probably all do it, but I wish she wouldn't frown when she is concentrating. It is always amazing what a transformation there is when she smiles.

My understanding is that there was no annulment of the Camilla mariage and as such no catholic marriage for wife #2. Look if one is strict catholic or cares about such things, he's in a state of sin. Unfortunately for her, I hear that Rosemary's (#2) cancer has relapsed. Although for the purposes of this discussion,as theirs is the relevant issue, long as Camilla is alive, no marriage 'in the church' for CPB and Anne. Do you think the Queen will every allow a twice divorced Princess Anne to marry a third time...especially to a divorced man...who was previously married to the second wife of the prince of wales? Sorry, but this is getting a bit 'incestuous'!

As you said many of us do so, and you can hardly change that - let's try it out for a day, and we'll see if we can make it

Here are two pics from another event Anne attended yesterday:

Nice pictures once again iceflower.

They are not even remotely blood related, so how could it be incestuous?
If a man wishes, he can marry his step daughter or a woman can marry her step brother - they are not related by blood.

a bit too 'all in the family' for my taste! Can you imagine handing out the gifts a christmas? Here's one for my sister's husband who used to be my wife's husband....a bit weird. And the press would certainly have an absolute field day. In any event, dont think the Queen would allow PA to marry a third time. It kind of makes a mockery of the Queen's public stand has Head of the Church.
