Prince Charles to marry Camilla

The prince and Mrs Parker-Bowles first met at a polo match in 1970
Prince Charles is set to marry his long-term partner Camilla Parker-Bowles, Clarence House says.
No wedding date has been confirmed at this stage, but reports have suggested 6 April is one possible date.

The move will end years of speculation on their relationship which has spanned decades after they first met in 1970.

The Prince of Wales, who is the heir to the throne, was previously married to Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.


The princess famously referred to Mrs Parker Bowles as one of the contributing factors to the breakdown of her marriage to Charles.

The couple, who had two sons - princes William and Harry - were divorced when Diana died.


Mrs Parker Bowles' current position has meant that her status was dogged with problems, including her seating at social functions away from her partner.

Last June, Mrs Parker Bowles was mentioned in the Prince's accounts, which marked a new realm of acceptance.
