Charles and Camilla Get Married
Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were married Saturday at the 17th century Guildhall, capping a decades-long love affair that lasted through the prince's first marriage to Princess Diana.
The couple emerged from Guildhall arm-in-arm to the cheers of onlookers and a jazz band playing, "Congratulations." They waved to the cheering crowd, but there was no public kiss or embrace.
Parker Bowles now takes on Diana's previous status as Princess of Wales, although she plans to defer to public sentiment by avoiding the title and will instead be known as the Duchess of Cornwall.
When Charles takes the throne, Parker Bowles legally will be queen, but she wishes to be known as Princess Consort a bow to opinion polls that show 70 percent of the population opposed to Queen Camilla.
After the civil ceremony, the couple drove to Windsor Castle in a Rolls-Royce for a blessing ceremony at St. George's Chapel to be attended by Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II. She and her husband, Prince Philip, did not attend the civil ceremony, saying they wanted to honor Charles' wish to keep the wedding "low key." Many of the wedding guests, including Charles' sons, William and Harry, were driven to the wedding in a rented bus. Parker Bowles' ex-husband, Andrew, also was among the fewer than 30 guests at the civil ceremony.
The bride wore an oyster silk basketweave coat with a herringbone stitch and a matching chiffon dress. She also wore a matching straw and lace hat with feather details.
Charles, in contrast to the military uniform he wore for his first wedding to Diana, was dressed in formal morning wear.
