I remember watching the wedding thinking my god this is so wrong, well what a change in opinion I've had in 5 years, especially after meeting Camilla last year. Anyways I actually really liked both of Camilla's outfits, thought they suited her perfectly.

I'm not a great fan of Camilla either, though she does seem to be a nice person. However, I particularly loved the outfit she wore for the church blessing.

Jamie Lee's children has nothing to do with being girls. It has everything to do with them being adopted. Jamie lee and her husband have a son, Thomas, as well as a daughter. The letter pattents for the Baron Hayden-Guest limits inheritance to birth, not adoption.
Why give a tital to Camilla's kids? They are not born into the aristocracy. Just because there are many titles out there, doesn't mean her kids deserve one just because she married Charles.

They are born to the aristocracy. Andrew Parker-Bowles, their father, is one of the Parkers of Macclesfield as he is a male-line descendant of the 6.th Earl of Macclesfield and his wife, née Lady Mary Grosvenor. When his grandfaher married the heiress of Colonel Sir Henry Bowles, 1st Baronet, the name Bowles was added by Royal license.
His mother was the daughter of Sir Humphrey de Trafford and Cynthia Cadogan, daughter of the then heir to the Earl Cadogan, Viscount Chelsea.
If you look into the list of ancestors of both Andrew and Camilla you'll find plenty of direct line ancestors with Royal titles like King of Scotland (legitime offspring), king of England (legitime and illegitime offspring) and high aristocratic titles like the Duke of Norfolk, Duke of Sutherland, Duke of Portland, Duke of Bridgwater, Duke of Bedford, Marquess of Waterford, Marquess of Westminster, Marquess of Stafford, Earl of Arundel, Earl of Kent, Earl of Tyrone, Earl of Gainsborough, Earl of Sussex, Earl of Suffolk, Earl of Dunbar, Earl of Southhampton, Earl of Shrewsbury, Earl Rivers, Earl of Albemarle, Earl of Kellie, Earl of Dunfermline, Earl of Aberdeen, Earl of Kinnoull, Earl of Morton, Earl Marischal, Earl of Errol, Earl of Huntly, Earl of Somerset.... I omit the ancestors which trace their barony back to the time of the Conquest....
Noble enough?

Being the great great great children of an Earl does not warrant the granting of a title. Neither does the fact their mother is a royal Princess by marriage.
Andrew Parker Bowles holds no title, and thus, neither should his children.
A somewhat notable ancestry or not, it would quite clearly be an example of who they know, and not who they are because who they are commoners of a noble lineage. Them and however many tens of thousands of people...
It would be, imo, an appalling misuse of the royal prerogative.

You are right. Anne's children hold no titles, least of all someone's step-children.

No. Titles are passed on through the father, and not the mother.

Yes. The wedding was originally scheduled for April 8, but Pope John Paul II died on April 2 and the Vatican announced that the funeral would also take place on April 8, even though the wedding had been scheduled months in advance. Charles usually represents the Queen at state funerals but she could have sent someone else (Prince Andrew went to Prince Rainier's funeral in Monaco a week later). However, many wedding guests, including dignitaries and government officials including Tony Blair, informed Charles that given the scheduling conflict, they would choose attending the Pope's funeral over Charles' wedding, forcing him to postpone it to April 9.
Interesting, Charles is getting his "revenge" with this royal wedding.

That day in 2005 was the first time I looked at Camilla and thought she was pretty. She just seemed so happy and had a glow about her. I think she is conducting herself very well and she is growing for me. I am still not looking forward to a Queen Camilla, but on that day she truly impressed me. And I am one of the few who actually liked the headdress she was wearing.

JW, why would the PM of England attend the funeral of a Pope over the wedding of his future king?

Politics and protocol. Prince Charles postponed his wedding a day, also.
