Is it necessary to be favorable to the port of the jean for a woman who approaches the about sixty? Light, but significant question if one wants to hold up to date the list of microquerelles and great debates which surrounded the preparation of the marriage, this Saturday, of prince de Galles with Camilla Parker-Bowles, whereas promised had been just photographed in similar behaviour, well planted legs, white shirt and sports jacket. Since the queen allowed in 1969 the BBC to penetrate in the royal apartments, to carry out a film on the royal family, in order to raise the prestige and the affection of the subjects for monarchy, the satisfaction of popular curiosity does not have any more limits. As the English say it, the couple cannot escape "the gilded aquarium" from the public life.

The union will be celebrated at 12. 30 with the town hall of Windsor in the presence of 28 members of the family and friendly circle narrow, under the glance of prince William and of Tom Parker-Bowles, their respective children, who granted the role of witnesses. Will follow a religious blessing led by the archbishop of Canterbury, in the vault St George of the castle of Windsor, then a reception with 800 guests, of the friends and the show biz, but well few crowned heads. For the two husbands, if this marriage devotes incredible coils story , it is also a way of penitence which illustrates with the envi what makes a good monarchy: much protocol, and one crowned amount of hypocrisy.

Adultery and penitence. Charles will be, one day, the supreme head of the Church of England. Reason for which two divorced the and adulterous ones will be constrained by the archbishop of Canterbury to beseech the forgiveness of the Lord, during the religious ceremony. The husband and his bride will have to thus pronounce the following words: "We recognize and regret our multiple sins and mislayings" made "in thought, words and acts against divine Seigneur" , a public confession retransmitted on line by televisions. Henri VIII proceeded differently, in 1534, when he wanted to repudiate his first wife, Catherine d' Aragon, incompetent to produce a heir to him, to throw itself in the arms of his mistress Anne Boleyn (whom he will make decapitate): he founded the Church of England since the pope refused the right to him to divorce. Charles II had mistresses with the shovel. In 1870, Edouard VII, back-back-large-father of Charles, trimballait themselves in Europe with Alice Keppel, back-back-large-mother of Camilla Parker-Bowles, mistress which was authorized with being near him at the time of its death... in company of the Alexandra queen. Very small, it seems that Camilla did not cease telling this anecdote with his/her comrades of the excellent school of girls of Kensington. It would have used later about it to start the conversation with Charles at the time of their first meeting in 1970. They will be able to think, while repenting publicly, that they are more flexible than some their ancestors.

If the prospect to see it one day named "Camilla queen" or "princess of Wales" is not yet clearly distinct, each one hopes that Camilla will have acquired a perfect lightness of the wrist to make its safety of the hand, even if it is incomparable with that of Di Lady in 1981. The spoons with tea, tee-shirts and others mugs with the effigy of married were torn off. The others memorabilia do not beat the records of sale. But that it rains or that it sale, as envisages it the weather, at the age of 56 and 57 years, the husbands must make of their better: to produce a royal show.
