Charles urged to marry Camilla
Wednesday, June 2, 2004 Posted: 8:31 AM EDT (1231 GMT)

Charles and Camilla at the Mey Highland games, Scotland, last year.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Britain's Prince Charles should marry his lover Camilla Parker Bowles, according to the former Archbishop of Canterbury, who described the prince's previous wife, the late Princess Diana as cunning and fallible.

George Carey, the former leader of the world's 70 million Anglicans, told The Times newspaper on Wednesday that marriage was the "natural thing."

"The Christian faith is all about forgiveness," he said.

"We all make mistakes. Failure is part of the human condition and there is no doubt that there has been a strong, loving relationship, probably since they were very young, that has endured over the years.

"He is the heir to the throne and he loves her. The natural thing is that they should get married."

Charles and Diana divorced in 1996 with admissions of adultery on both sides.

Diana blamed Parker Bowles, a long-time lover of Charles, and a prying media for the break-up but Carey defended the prince, saying he had been "more sinned against than sinning" during the marriage.

"She was a very fallible lady and very angry about the relationship and yes, I do believe, on balance, that she was a little more cunning at using the media than Charles," he said.

Charles has trod a delicate public relations path over his affair with Parker Bowles since the divorce and Diana's subsequent death in a Paris car crash in 1997.

Carey said he visited Parker Bowles in secret during his time as Archbishop because he feared she was "an ogre in the eyes of the media."

"She's a very nice person. She's very bright, able, astute, tough, very pleasant company," he said.

The Church of England lifted its ban on divorced people remarrying in church in 2002 and Carey said he would be happy to see a blessing service take place, but added that he had no idea of the couple's intentions.

He's obviously in love with her and has been for ages. I agree they should get married.

If he hadn't married her, she would never have graced our screens and done all those wonderful things for charity that she did. It's a shame she is gone and that she had emotional issues while she was here, but I wouldn't want to give up all the good she did in the world just to have her back. Maybe it's the star trek in me...the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...

I personally have never really cared that Much for good ole Charlie. I agree that if he loved her he should have married her and spared Diana the pain of a public life. I doubt he will marry her though. The Brits adored Diana and have never really cared much for Camilla, they would throw a fit that their future king would do that, talk about a PR nightmare...if he marries her, he'll abdicate...which would stink for Prince William....

Personally, with all the stories we've heard about the Royal Family in the past years, I would not want to be a part of their family at all! Talk about disfunction Roll Eyes

The nice thing about Charles and Diana is they have finally bred some good looks into the royal line. Had Charles married Camilla their kids would have looked like Afred E. Neuman from Mad magazine. :yikes:

Well said Boradamer!

There's always the possiblity that QE2 will pass over Charles and pass the throne directly to William. There has been speculation of that for a couple of years now. Spec is that is why she hasn't stepped down yet.

Why would she step down now? From what i hear she is in pretty good health and she looks ok...I doubt she will step down before she dies unless her health takes a turn for the worse

I have not heard that rumor that she will pass over Charles. Would serve his royal hiney right! But poor william if that happens
