The CoE considered Charles to be a widower, Camilla as divorced. If APB had been dead, then as far as I know Williams would have offered the full gubbins.
Charles isn't considered a widower by the C of E. Since the church recognises civil divorce, Charles was considered a single man again after his 1996 divorce. The church states that in its information on remarrying divorced couples. If a person is divorced then they are to be considered as single. So since the church considered him single, then he would not be a widower as at the time of his previous wife's death they weren't married. A single man can't be a widower.
