Charles to marry Camilla
well, it has been announced that Prince Charles is to marry Camilla Parker-Bowles, and thus that Camilla will take up the role of Princess of Wales, Princess Consort and Duchess of Cornwall.
what do people think, bearing in mind that the monarch is the supreme head of the Church of England, and that Charles is thus a remarrying divorcee? |

isn't that ability (divorce) one of the main reasons behind the formation of the church of england in the first place?

You are actually, though some clergy still don't like the idea. The Archbishop of Canterbury is going to bless the wedding anyway, so I guess he doesn't have a problem with it.
Also, she's not going to be Princess of Wales, only Duchess of Cornwall and then Princess Consort when he's king.

Okay, dumb furriner question, but why would she NOT get the Princess of Wales title?

I think it's just to avoid trouble - a lot of Brits liked Diana, as evidenced by all the people at her funeral, and think of her as the Princess of Wales.
But I'm just a furriner! What do you Brits say?

This has apparently caused a huge surge of support in the Republican movement down here. =/

They only dislike Camilla because she's not gorgeous like Diana was. *sigh* Good on 'em, I say.

I'm sure William and Harry are overjoyed.

Charles himself is likely to be passed over for monarchial rule, so which of the "heir and a spare" would you prefer?

I'll take a brief time-out from not caring to ask... who cares?
Though I do feel badly for William and Harry, as I would for any kids who found themselves with their father's mistress as a stepmom.
