The Church of England recently revised its rules to allow divorcees to remarry in church in some cases. It's a sensitive issue because Charles would be the supreme governor of the church if he succeeds to the throne, and some Anglicans remain opposed to remarriage of divorcees. The Church of England has stayed neutral on a marriage between Parker Bowles and Charles, who divorced Princess Diana before her death in 1997. "The very last year of Diana's life she'd come to terms with Camilla and she said 'I wish Charles would make an honest woman of her,' and now he has," the royal-watcher said. That's what Diana would have wanted, said Seward. "The natural thing is that they should get married." "He is heir to the throne and he loves her," said former Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey, in an interview last summer with The Times of London. In the years since Diana's death, the prince's office said many times that he and Camilla had no plans to marry, but in recent years she has been seen more and more with Charles - so much so that last June, the former Archbishop of Canterbury said publicly that he thought they should wed. In 1994, Prince Charles admitted in a TV documentary that he had strayed from his marriage vows, but insisted the infidelity happened only after the marriage was "irretrievably broken down, us both having tried." "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," Diana said in a 1995 TV interview, a year before she and Charles divorced. She was divorced from Charles when she died.Ĭharles and Camilla met when the prince was just a student, over 30 years ago, and continued an on-and-off relationship through most of their adult lives - even during his marriage to Diana, who loathed Camilla as a rival. "We all wish them every happiness for their future together."Ĭharles was previously married to Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. "It's very happy news and when the Cabinet heard it this morning they sent their congratulations and good wishes on behalf of the whole government," said Blair. Prime Minister Tony Blair is adding his congratulations, and says he is "delighted" at the news of the impending nuptials.
