Oh, not again!

Some people question the validity of their marriage again.

Two Law Lords having a difference of legal opinion, a decade apart. It's not the first time lawyers have disagreed and it won't be the last. If anyone is seriously concerned at the marriage's legality, they are free to mount a court challenge. Despite the empty threats made at the time of the wedding by members of "The Diana Circle", no-one has.

who cares what they think? they are married now and their marriage is widely accepted. i don't think some arguments concerning past documents is gonna make their marriage invalid. things change, laws can change. these arguments can not change the fact that they are married and they are happy. i doubt these arguments will do any real damage to them.

Here's another story link about it.

[hornsen]

Why don´t they leave them alone? Why they are so much against the marriage? Charles is so much happier and easier now and Camilla, too. Isn´t it good for all? And the goverment did give the agreement, didn´t they? The church gave the blessing, where is the problem?

 

[cde]

Hopefully this won't turn into a even bigger thing. God forbid anyone takes it to court.

Why didn't they just get married in Scotland? Nobody questions Anne's second marriage.

Does anybody know the history/significance of Camilla's bracelet? I know an article from Hello magazine in 1997 had an article on it, sadly I can't find it online and I lost the ebay auction.

The British public have a rightful interest in the marital status of their future sovereign.

Civil marriages were introduced in England by the Marriage Act 1836. Section 45 said that the act "shall not extend to the marriage of any of the Royal Family". The provisions on civil marriage in the 1836 act were repealed by the Marriage Act 1949.

The whole point is that a clause in the 1949 Marriage Act states: "Nothing in this act shall affect any law or custom relating to the marriage of members of the royal family." Laws or customs relating to marriages of the Royal Family were unaffected.

If The Church of England recognizes and blesses civil marriages of divorcees, the problem lies with Camilla's former husband still alive and with Charles being the future King.

Marriage in Scotland could have been a solution, but may not be recognized in England and Wales. Charles IS The Prince of Wales and The future King of England.

 

[hornsen]

IMO Charles will do everything possible to defend his marriage. It´s his/their human right! Much worther is a king with a mistress. And if the marriage should be illegal, he won´t hide Camilla anymore. They will go on like yet .And that´s right. And he should not renounce the throne. You can´t expect William the reign now. He is a young man, he has the right to live his life!

 

[naida]

The royals are above human rights, they have theirs owns.

 

[Skydragon]

The passage from the 1949 Act (“Nothing in this Act shall affect any law or custom relating to the marriage of members of the Royal Family”) logically cannot preserve a ban that never existed and plainly does not refer back to the 1836 Act since the latter was not “a law, relating to the marriage of members of the Royal Family.

The passage from the 1949 Act (“Nothing in this Act shall affect any law or custom relating to the marriage of members of the Royal Family”) logically cannot preserve a ban that never existed, and plainly does not refer back to the 1836 Act since the latter was not “a law . . . relating to the marriage of members of the Royal Family.

Presicely!
All this talks emerged again from the lack of news, imo. They can't do anything, can they? Prince Charles and Camilla have already married and nothing they do or say will change that.

 

[naida]

In 1836 it was specifically stated that the provisions of the Act did not apply to royal marriages. The 1949 Act was less specific, but in the post-war period, three royals—Princess Margaret, the Earl of Harewood and Prince Michael of Kent—have been told they could not marry divorced people and the Act did not permit them to marry in a civil ceremony. No member of the royal family has ever contracted a civil marriage in Britain.

On this occasion, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer, overturned all precedent and declared that it was legal for Charles to marry in a civil ceremony under the 1949 Marriage Act. When this was challenged by leading constitutional lawyers, family law experts and former Attorney General Sir Nicholas Lyell, Falconer appealed to the recently enacted Human Rights Act which guarantees all British citizens the right to a family life.

Ironically, it is a law that Charles, in a letter to the previous Lord Chancellor, denounced as “a threat to sane, civilised and ordered existence,” and which the government itself has set aside when the rights of asylum seekers and terror suspects were concerned.
