Please get your facts right. The Queen...Michelle,<br /><br />Please get your facts right. The Queen did not attend the civil marriage at the town hall in Windsor. She did attend the church service, which was not a wedding, but a service of blessing on the civil marriage. Charles and Camilla had a service of Blessing at St George's at Windsor Castle, which was followed by a reception. The Church of England, which does now allow the marriage of divorced people (although Charles and Camilla chose to have a service of blessing), the Church of England also has a Service of Blessing on a civil marriage ...this is what Charles and Camilla had - and the queen attended as did other members of the Royal Family. It was televised around the world.Marlene Eilers Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984860671065161997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-79217958525019613622009-04-24T17:52:00.000-04:002009-04-24T17:52:00.000-04:00marlene -

Anne Anson was divorced, so it would not have been possible for the Queen consort or her daughter to have attended the wedding, even if it was a religious ceremony, of a relative or anyone else, due to the Church's stance on divorce at the time.Marlene Eilers Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984860671065161997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-7395718439058526582009-04-24T15:02:00.000-04:002009-04-24T15:02:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you put this snippet in your blog.

I had heard that Queen Elizabeth, on the advice of the powers that be, stayed away from the wedding.Bev Stephansnoreply@blogger.com
