So is it her divorce that's keeping them from getting married in teh church or his? Was he actually divorced? I think so, but I can't remember.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

His divorce, I believe, is no longer relevant. Hers is.

So clearly a good patriotic Briton would remove Andrew Parker-Bowles from the scene.

So the sin isn't the divorce, but the remarriage? I guess I knew that, but it's interesting to me that Diana's death somehow makes it okay for Charles to marry his longtime girlfriend. OTOH, I guess that sounds just like a historical novel.

The divorce is just not recognized. In the eyes of the church, no such thing, never happened. So Camilla is still married, as was Charles up until Diana died. There's a fairly solid logic to it, even if it does produce some odd situations.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Was just reading The Guardian's stories. Charles is technically a widower, so he's clear.
Personally, I've always thought Camilla was better looking than Diana, who had this big-eyed, "If I keep smiling, maybe they won't hurt me" look to her.

On the contrary, Charles had an elaborate P.R. "See, my girlfriend's not so bad" campaign going that was thwarted when Diana died, causing a wave of anti-Camilla feeling. So Diana's death probably set back the marriage by several years.
Nowadays, Britons think "Eh, whatever", so Charles won't be endangering the Throne by marrying his popsy.

Americans, otoh, bizarrely fascinated.

Oddly, I saw some of that today. I admit to having been baffled.
But then, Diana didn't like horses, so I always thought she was a bit of a twit, and Charles a fool for marrying her.
