I am not a huge monarchy fan (but I love this film) but I wonder how many monarchists remember that the Queen did not go to Charles's wedding to Camilla?
When I read that I thought it was great.
What? Do you even understand why she didn't go to the civil wedding ceremony because it was not a snub if you think that is why it's cool. They attended the blessing and gave the reception to the newly Wed couple.
shareare you telling me that the Queen does not go to civil weddings?
I guess you are one of these monarchy experts like Norman St John Stevas.
I see, you don't understand.
sharewell explain then ?
Did the Queen go to Princess Anne's second wedding?
The Queen is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Princess Anne got remarried in the Church of Scotland which has different rules regarding divorce. The Queen is not the head of that church so there's no conflict.
Charles got remarried in a civil ceremony. It would be inappropriate for the head of the Church of England to attend a civil ceremony. She did host the reception at Windsor Castle. She both consented to the marriage and publicly offered congratulations to the couple.
