I think it's great that Charley has finally decided to marry Camilla. Why shouldn't he have the same rights as his subjects? The title of "Defender of the Faith" was awarded to Henry VIII by the Catholic pope for writing a treatise on the Catholic faith long before his divorce from Catherine of Aragon. For some reason old Henry decided he liked the title and kept it after he was excommunicated and formed his own church. When the C of E decided it didn't like divorce I haven't a clue..but the reason it was founded was so Henry could divorce and remarry. On the one hand it seems people bitch about British royalty being out of date and out of touch, and on the other, they deny to the royals what forty percent of the population is doing anyway. Personally, I think their time has come to quit altogether. There will always be an oppressive class sytem in Britain while the royals still exist. In the meantime, since we're stuck with them, let the poor buggers at least have partners of their choice and not ones that are chosen for them. Sharon on sunny Vancouver Island
