The Prince of Wales is to marry Camilla Parker Bowles, Clarence House has announced.
A full statement is to be released shortly.No date has been confirmed at this stage, but reports this morning suggested it would be April 6.

The move will end years of speculation on their relationship, which has spanned decades.Mrs Parker Bowles' current position meant her status was dogged with problems, including her seating at social functions away from the heir to the throne.

They first met at a Windsor polo match in 1970.Last June, Mrs Parker Bowles was mentioned in the Prince's accounts - moving into a new realm of acceptance.This week, there was further controversy over the cost of her lifestyle and how it was funded by the Prince.A key question to be resolved will be how she will be addressed.
Will it be as the Princess of Wales and then, when Charles becomes King, Queen Camilla?

that S.O.B

This definitley falls under my "Don't give a flying F*CK" category of personal worries or interests.

😂

I dont see why everyone hates the idea of Camilla being queen so much. Its not like she's particularly evil or anything. I guess its cos everyones got this perfect image of Diana.

Here's what I found :

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE MARRIAGE OF
HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES AND MRS CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES

It is with great pleasure that the marriage of HRH The Prince of Wales and Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles is announced. It will take place on Friday 8th April 2005 at Windsor Castle.

The Prince of Wales has said: “Mrs Parker Bowles and I are absolutely delighted. It will be a very special day for us and our families.”

Mrs Parker Bowles will use the title HRH The Duchess of Cornwall after marriage.

It is intended that Mrs Parker Bowles should use the title HRH The Princess Consort when The Prince of Wales accedes to The Throne.

The wedding will be a largely private occasion for family and friends. It will comprise a civil ceremony in Windsor Castle. There will subsequently be a service of prayer and dedication in St George’s Chapel at which the Archbishop of Canterbury will preside.

Ok?so why is this even posted?JM

why not?

Well, it goes along with other threads of little value, so Naybean, you may be on to something.

Well Jackie this is the GDF - you can discuss (almost) anything.

It doesnt matter if its of little value to some people - different people are interested in different things - like if you dont live in the UK you probably wont give a shit, and half of the UK doesnt either - frankly I dont care that they are getting married but it pisses me off that they felt they couldnt and that she cant be queen because they, like the majority of the rest of us are divorced.

I'm divorced too, Naybean - ya sure ain't alone there !

Maybe the monarchy needs to re-evaluate some of their stuffy old rules in that department, although I'm betting that kind of change wouldn't come until William is on the throne. Just speculation, of course.

🙂

i don't like them.

I understand people like to read news about monarchies and kingships. But for me this is utter nonsense with things like kings and queens and princess and all that junk. The queen is dead and royalty to the king means cracker jacks to me. For me these are only people with lots of money and full of hot air. 👇

Much like the Kennedy's

Ugh! I detest anything that has to do with the Kennedy family (Except John F. Kennedy)

This definitley falls under my "Don't give a flying F*CK" category of personal worries or interests

Great Stuff.
I'm back in england and I still don't really care.

They've said thatr she wont be called queen.

But edward had to give up his throne to marry a divorcee, so i dont see why charles should be able to.

I bet Prince Harry has recommended Amsterdam for the stag weekend.
