I think Charles married against his "type" in that Diana, though beautiful, wasn't very bright. Though she got very clever later on, she still wasn't interested in the intellectual pursuits that Charles had.
Andrew, well, I don't know about that. I did think they were "suited" but when Sarah cracked up, well, that showed she was weak.
I have read in several biographies on the Royal Family that Charles was concerned about the mettle of his future spouse, they had to have it as they would be in the spot light for the rest of their life.
Andrew is still forming his life. Charles had his life and duties pretty much mapped out for him. Now Andrew is into the International Business Trade and his life and tastes, I'm sure are changing.
Would they (the families) have stopped the wedding? Not on your life! Talk about publicity! They were THE events of the century to attend!
