The prince and Mrs Parker Bowles first met at a polo match in 1970

Looks as if she's trying to look like the REAL deal they had to bump off.
Hasn't she gone awfully blonde?

Prince Charles to marry Camilla
Prince Charles will marry his long-term partner Camilla Parker Bowles on 8 April, Clarence House says.
Mrs Parker Bowles will take the title HRH Duchess of Cornwall after the civil ceremony at Windsor Castle.

When the Prince of Wales, 56, becomes king, 57-year-old Camilla will not be known as Queen Camilla but as the Princess Consort, Clarence House added.

Princes William and Harry said they are "very happy" and wish the couple "all the luck in the future".

Charles said he and his wife-to-be are "absolutely delighted".

The move will end years of speculation on a relationship which has spanned the decades since they first met in 1970.

The wedding will be a civil ceremony, which will be followed by a service of prayer and dedication in St George's Chapel at which the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, will preside.

"The Duke of Edinburgh and I are very happy that the Prince of Wales and Mrs Parker Bowles are to marry," said the Queen, in a statement issued on her behalf by Buckingham Palace.

Charles was married to Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

The princess famously referred to Mrs Parker Bowles as one of the contributing factors in the breakdown of her marriage to Charles.

The couple, who had two sons - princes William and Harry - had divorced when Diana died.

A spokeswoman for Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, said he would not be making any comment on the wedding announcement.

Religious reaction

Tony Blair said he was "delighted" for the couple and offered his congratulations, as did Conservative leader Michael Howard and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy.

The marriage is likely to be a sensitive issue because Mrs Parker Bowles is divorced and her former husband is still alive.

If he became king, Charles would be the supreme governor of the Church of England and some Anglicans remain opposed to the remarriage of divorcees.

Last year, a poll indicated that more Britons support Prince Charles marrying Camilla Parker Bowles than oppose it.

Of those who responded to a Populus poll, 32% said they would support Charles if he remarried, while 29% were opposed.

However, most people - 38% - said they did not care, while 2% had no opinion.

Mrs Parker Bowles has joined the Prince at numerous engagements in recent years - mostly at evening events for The Prince's Trust.

Clarence House staff were at pains to point out that she attended these events in a private capacity.

But the impending wedding will now allow her to be at the Prince's side full-time in an official capacity.

MUCH more ladylike than going to see why people's legs are being blown off by landmines. The Queen's kind of daughter-in-law. Horsey and stupid.

Mr. Boring marries Mrs. Boring!

Ho hum! (yawn)

Quote"If he became king, Charles would be the supreme governor of the Church of England and some Anglicans remain opposed to the remarriage of divorcees."

Wasn't the Anglican church spawned from divorce? Katherine of Aragon couldn't produce a male heir so Henry the ocho invented his own reality and took up with
Anne Boleyn. Thomas More lost his noggin over this.

At first, Henry wanted an annulment from Katherine on the basis that she was not a virgin on the day she married him and therefore the marriage was invalid.
A divorce was what he ended up getting.
It's true that today, the Church of England would not be servicable to Henry at all, or to many British monarchs for that matter.
In privileging respectable backgrounds over love, I think the church hurts its own credibility.

Gosh...now that Charles has the heir and the spare from the brood mare known as Diana, he can legally be with the one he should've married in the first place. Sheesh...why didn't Camilla just wait on Charles instead of marrying Park Your Balls back in the 70s?

Who knows...just sad because maybe Diana would've been alive today if the both of them had been more mature and...intelligent.
