The airwaves in the UK are crackling with the news that Prince Charles is to marry Camilla Parker-Bowles in April. Civil ceremony, so no Anglican fuss about remarriage of divorced persons in church. The news reports all imply that the fact that he's divorced is the problem. It's not. It's that her former husband is still living.
Ho-hum. She'll become a duchess, he'll be legal, the Archbishop of Canterbury will bless the pair, and all's well that ends well, I guess.
I wonder if she'll start opening things and christening ships and such. When Brenda kicks the bucket, she'll become the Princess Consort. Everyone's wondering about that, but when he's King he can issue a decree that will call her anything he likes.
I'm in favour of HRH Princess Horseface, myself.

And Harry is just as heterosexual, so even if Wills goes and marries you in Massachusetts (from my lips to God's ears, of course) Harry and his issue would still succeed when Wills succumbs to an excess of wild sex. Liz has provided the Royal Family with lots of choice when it comes to heirs. And as for wrenches, they've had quite a few in the last 40 years, starting with sister Meg's fling with a DIVORCED MAN!! Imagine!
