Registrar throws out objections to Charles-Camilla wedding
BY A CORRESPONDENT
March 24: The British Register General has rejected
11 objections to the upcoming wedding of Prince Charles and
Camilla Parker Bowles on April 8 at the Guildhall in Windsor.
The major contention of the petitions was that the law did not
allow the Prince to marry in a civil ceremony.
"I am satisfied that none of these objections should obstruct
the issue of a (marriage) certificate," said Len Cook,
Register General for England and Wales.
Len Cook ruled that the relevant legislation, backed more
recently by the European convention on Human Rights and 1998
Human Rights Act, did not prevent the royal marriage.
Charles and Camilla had initially wanted to get married in St
George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. Later, it was found that
licensing the royal palace would cause too much disruption.
So, Prince Charles' office Clarence House announced that they
would wed at Windsor's town hall.
