Why didn't Charles marry Camilla all those 34yrs ago instead of Diana, Diana would of met someone else and been happy and so would Charles cause he would of been with Camilla and had children with her, i dunno understand this, he should of married her instead of Andrew marrying Camilla and those 2 having an affair... I don't understand this...

I know this is a bit random but, doesn't Princess Anne's hair look like it is really dyed?

Every one's hair is dyed--you mean couldn't it be more natural, and the answer is yes.

I must say that I felt deep disgust after watching the ceremony in St. George's yesterday on a number of levels. Initially I didn't object to the notion of a church blessing as I had the impression that it would be a small and simple affair. What I saw made me feel little more than sick. This was a second church wedding in all but name. I lost count of the number of clergy taking part and they even made vows again. When the Archbishop asked if they understood that Christian marraige was based on "faithfulness" and they said they did I felt mortified on their behalf. Her ex-husband , the man she was married to whilst simultaneuosly having sex with Charles, (another married man) was sitting only yards away. I want to point out that when they emerged from the Guildhall I felt very nonchalant about the whole thing but it should have ended there. I feel that the Anglican Church made a mockery of marraige yesterday in order to please two individuals and I feel sorry for those who look to it for moral guidance because they must feel very let down. I have nothing against Charles and Camilla personally but she willingly and perpetually slept with Charles knowing that he was married and knowing their actions were driving his wife to despair. Yesterday was a farce.

I don't disagree, but Mr. Parker Bowles was also cheating.

This sort of action is standard practice in the Church of England. It was not just done for Charles and Camilla.


As the church often won't remarry a divorced person it will bless the union but has some requirements in place - such as the confession.

That is what happened.

If you were divorced and wanted to remarry the Church of England would probably do the same thing (some ministers may remarry you in church anyway as it is up to each minister - mine said that he would have married Charles and Camilla and not had them have a civil wedding at all).

This was NOT something special for Charles and Camilla but Church of England practice.

Thank you very much for clarifying it! So, correct me if I'm mistaken, but the criteria to a priest remarrying or not a couple depends on nothing more than his own personal judgement... I find ironic that a descendent from King Henry VIII is not allowed to enjoy the priveleges he took for himself, when breaking with Roman Catholic Church to marry Anne Bolene...

Oh yes I know that Andrew Parker-Bowles had many women when they were married, they both seemed to have a very open relationship. It has even been said that he considered it some kind of sick honour that his wife was the Prince of Wales' mistress. I mean if he had cared at all he couldn't have brought himself to be at their wedding in the way that most normal men couldn't if their wife had cheated on them with someone else. But that's the whole point. Charles, Camilla and Andrew were perfectly at ease with the multiple adultery that was going on. It was only Diana who objected to it. That is why I found the religious service so distasteful yesterday, the three perpetrators were standing looking holier than thou whilst Diana is lying dead and the church seemed to be sanctioning the whole thing.

Did you ever consider that Andrew Parker-Bowles wasn't there for Charles or Camilla's sake but for the sake of his two children? Grown children or not, it is still important for two divorced parents to be civil and cordial with one another for the sake of their children. In the future, when Tom and Laura each get married, have children, and their children celebrate baptisms and birthdays, it will be much easier for both Tom and Laura and their families that their parents get along and can sit politely in a room together enjoying the children of their children and grandchildren.

Yes Diana objected so much to the cheating and multiple adultery she went out and had multiple affairs herself!

Secondly, it's not as if the three "perpertrators" are the reason why Diana is lying six feet under. Charles, Camilla and Andrew weren't the ones that were chasing her in a car in that Paris tunnel in 1997 figuratively or literally. These three "perperators" also did not tell her not to wear a seat belt nor did they ply her driver with alcohol so that his judgement while driving was impaired.

The fact is all four individuals in both marriages are responsible for their marriages breaking down. Just as all four individuals are responsible for the affairs they had. (And don't tell me that Charles and Camilla started the cheating first -- cheating is cheating, no matter who does it first or how many times you do it.)

Diana is also now deceased. Is Charles supposed to live in Diana's shadow until his own death? I bet that you would think that Charles was looking "holier than now" even if he were crying into his tea everyday.

Charles and Camilla just can't win. Even on the most happiest of their days together, when they clearly were two adults very much in love, people can't have one ounce of happiness for them.

I concur James. It is as if everything has been brushed under the rug. I wish ppl would own up to their mistakes and try not to hush hush things just b/c it is convenient for them. I am extremely disappointed in the church. They act more secular than religious.
I agree with these two getting married, but she should have been denied those titles and HRH status. It makes me so sad that she got what she wanted, what she planned all those years. Adultery sucks!

Ademar at the Glittering Royal Events MB posted the following series of newspaper covers from around the world on the coverage of Charles and Camilla's wedding. I thought it was rather interesting to see how the wedding was covered world wide.

Surprising that Joan Rivers was there. I heard that she was actually friends with Charles and Camilla and that they liked her sense of humour. A curious fact since normally I would think that Charles and Camilla are the kind of people Joan would find it easy to take her cheap shots at.
