Prince Charles' office has announced that the Prince's wedding to Camilla Parker-Bowles will be delayed from Friday to Saturday. The delay comes due to the Prince's attendance of Pope John Paul II's funeral. Charles will be Queen Elizabeth's representative at the ceremony. The heir to the British throne was to be wed for the second time in a civil service at Windsors Guild Hall.

The heir to the British throne was to have wed Camilla Parker Bowles in a civil ceremony on Friday but instead will represent Queen Elizabeth II at the funeral.

This was speculated on even before the Popes death and comes as little suprise. The conflicting dates of the wedding and the funeral of the Pope would of thrown into doubt the Prime Minister's attendance of the wedding.

I am suprised that the Queen is sending her son to the Pope's funeral in her stead though. Even though she is the head of the Church of England, a rival Church, she should still of represented Britain as our soverign and head of state. Most rivalry between the Catholic Church and the Church of England is ancient and unspoken in this day and age but I'm sure the Queen is adhering to some protocol.
