Great Britain is atwitter
over the news that Prince Charles, 56, will marry Camilla Parker Bowles,
57, in April.
Their pending marriage was announced by Buckingham Palace after the couple
was seen checking out extended care facilities that allow married couples
to live together.
They've decided, however, to have one of the Royal Family's castles
specially outfitted to meet their geriatric needs.
Both have already taken the required pre-marital blood tests and reported
that their pressures were fine for people in their age group.
While no honeymoon plans have yet been announced, they hope to tour London
restaurants, sampling early bird specials.
For daytime excitement, the pair will cruise London's parks, with stops at
various benches in order to feed the pigeons.
Having been divorced, the bride will not be known as Queen Camilla after
Charles is carried to the throne. The future king reportedly even refuses
to allow her to have a queen-sized bed.
A London scandal sheet said the real reason Camilla will be known as
Dowager Consort is that Charles, rumored to be bisexual, wants to reserve
the queen title for himself.
Charles promptly denied that, saying all the world knows their marriage
was repeatedly consummated years before their wedding.
As for protocol after he becomes King, it has been decided that whenever
they appear at official events together, her wheelchair will respectfully
follow his by several feet.
