British registrar allows Charles' wedding
font size    

The British Register General dismissed on Tuesday 11 objections to the marriage of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles scheduled to take place at the Guildhall in Windsor on April 8.

"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.

Principal grounds for objection were that the law did not allowthe Prince to marry in a civil ceremony.

But Cook ruled that the relevant legislation, backed more recently by the European convention on Human Rights and 1998 HumanRights Act, did not prevent the royal marriage.

The couple initially wanted to get married in St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. But after it was decided that licensing the royal palace would cause too much disruption, Clarence House announced they would wed at Windsor's town hall.

The 56-year-old heir to the throne divorced late Princess Dianain 1996. She died in a car accident in the following year.

The Prince has in recent years given Camilla, 57, a more prominent public role, frequently taking her to official engagements.

Charles and Camilla first met at a polo match in Windsor in 1970.
