[lace-chat] Charles and Camilla

So Charles is going to marry Camilla in April. At least she won't be Queen Camilla, but Princess Consort (assuming Charles outlives his mother and sons to become king), in the meantime she'll be Duchess of Cornwall. I'm not religious, but am glad it's not going to be a church wedding - if it was

Prince Charles only has to outlive his mother the Queen to become King - his elder son will inherit after he dies. I am no expert in Constitutional matters, but I can't see that he couldn't be head of the Anglican church - sometimes people find it hard to separate the person from the body they

Actually, I think the fact that Lady Di is dead clears it in the eyes of the church. I know that's why the Catholic Church allowed my aunt to get married in the church. Her first husband died and they didn't count the husbands after him. History shows us that most of the monarch would be hard

Actually, I think the problem may be that Camilla's first husband is alive. After all, that was the Duke of Windsor's problem. I thought it was clever of Charles a few years ago when he went about saying that the Church of England came into existence because of a divorce, Henry VIII's. Devon

This afternoon a constitutional expert explained why Charles can now marry Camilla. A summary of what he said is: The Monarch has to give consent to the marriage of anyone in line to the throne. In order for him/her to give consent he/she has to consult the government and get their approval.

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

Thanks Jean for the news. I'm feeling a little shocked even though it's none of my business G. It's nice that the social climate can be taken into account to make this wedding possible. But I still miss Princess Diana! I have read about the comment Camilla made to Prince Charles when
