daughter.
The man is holding a newspaper with the headline 'Charles to marry' and
saying to his daughter Go
The marriage of Charles and Camilla was not a total surprise to me since my
friend who loves the British royals had already told me that the Duke of
Norfolk had been negotiating how it might happen. Why would the country's
foremost Catholic family be involved in these negotiations, I asked.
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

just what to do to get the press/media on her side, when it suited her, and
