>Morganatic marriage is not common these days

One would think that the major issue would be issue and without the benefits of modern science that would be unlikely. C & C's marriage would be unlikely to upset the royal lineage too much. An every day pre-nuptual agreement could sort out who gets the family silver. As Bill points out, time has moved on since Wallis Simpson, wasn't she a Catholic as well as divorced? [Thanks Bob, no she wasn't, I tried to look it up but I couldn't remember, it was also mooted that Camilla was a Catholic but she's not, thereby making a potential marriage infinitely easier].

I don't think that any of the family can be too proud of the relationships that they all had with Diana, whether or not her marriage to Charles was a good idea. Charles seems to be introducing Camilla to public life by stealth. His sister, Anne, went to Scotland to marry her second husband as there are different rules on second marriages to those in England. Charles still faces the problem of taking up his role as Head of the Church of England one day and the fact that, as far as I know, they still haven't relaxed the rules on allowing second marriages to take place in church. <A HREF="http://detnews.com/2000/religion/0001/26/01260172.htm" target="_new">http://detnews.com/2000/religion/0001/26/01260172.htm</A>
