There will be no royal wedding on Friday, as originally planned.
The Prince of Wales’s wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles is to be postponed to Saturday, Clarence House announced today. Charles will be representing the Queen at the funeral of Pope John Paul II on Friday instead. A spokesman said the Prince took the decision with Mrs Parker Bowles after returning today from his skiing trip. Camilla will not be accompanying the Prince to the funeral.
After Charles announced his decision about the date switch, some amongst the staff swear they heard him mutter, “Bloody Catholics!”.
And as for Camilla, she misses being the queen-in-waiting by one day and suffers an 11th hour diplomatic snub.
Priceless.
