ROYAL WEDDING Postponed!

LONDON, England -- Prince Charles' wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles has been moved to Saturday to allow Charles to attend Pope John Paul II's funeral at the Vatican on Friday, his office said.

"As a mark of respect His Royal Highness and Mrs. Parker Bowles have decided to postpone their wedding until Saturday," a spokesman for Charles said.

Charles cut short his skiing holiday in Switzerland to attend a memorial service for the pope at London's Westminster Cathedral on Monday.

Parker Bowles attended Monday's service but will not attend Friday's funeral, according to Clarence House, the prince's London residence.

Charles will attend the pope's funeral as the representative of the British royal family, a Clarence House spokeswoman said.

"We hope the wedding will simply shift 24 hours," the spokeswoman said. "All details will be confirmed later."

The Vatican announced Monday that the pope's funeral would be held Friday -- the same day Charles and Camilla had planned to wed.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, both of whom were scheduled to attend the wedding, also were expected to attend the pope's funeral.

"It is expected that the arrangements will be largely the same as previously planned and more details will be announced as soon as possible," the prince's spokesman said.

Three weddings are due to take place on Saturday afternoon at the Guildhall in Windsor where the heir to the throne will marry, but the morning is free, the UK's Press Association reported.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council insisted that these scheduled ceremonies would not be moved to accommodate Charles and Camilla.

The royal wedding has already been hit by several glitches. (Ghost of Diana?)http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/04/04/diana.wedding.reut/index.html

The venue had to be switched from Windsor Castle to the town hall in Windsor after a mix-up over marriage licenses.

Constitutional experts also have questioned the legality of a civil ceremony.

Charles divorced his first wife, Princess Diana, in 1996. She died in a car crash in Paris a year later.

Queen Elizabeth II has said she will not attend her eldest son's second marriage, but she is planning to attend a blessing being given afterwards by Archbishop Williams at nearby Windsor Castle, west of London.

I think it was good of them to postpone it a day, though given that he is the future head of another church, he really didn't have to. As for Camilla, i could care less what she thinks.

Personally she probably feels the Pope's death is ruining her spotlight.

Last I read they are not postponing, they are moving ahead with the original plans. I can't imagine postponing would make the tax payers happy since that would likely mean extra cost to them ultimately.

They are going to get married sooner or later anyway. Just wondering, any of you guys know of anyone who supports their marriage?

I'm in support of their getting married. I think they've waited long enough.

Sure, let them get married, but then he obviously can't be head of the Church of England, so he should abdicate.

After all, how can one be head of a church who's laws he is publicly in violation of?

It is time! Obviously this couple has wanted to be together for years. I would hate to thinki I suffered for years not getting to be with the one I love. Royalty makes no difference, this is a feeling of two hearts!

So they say, she has a great sense of humor and has never sought the limelight. Such as her day on the front page or in any interviews.

All parents should take note, be supportive of the person your child wants to marry. No doubt if the Queen could turn back time......................she wouldn't have opposed the marriage.
A high price has been paid by all involved.
