《中英對照讀新聞》Charles-Camilla Wedding Plans:A Royal Headache 查爾斯與卡蜜拉的婚禮計畫讓王室頭痛
Any wedding is a tough task to organise but the April nuptials of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles are proving to be a larger headache than normal for his mother,Queen Elizabeth II.
The courting divorcees had to scrap an initial plan to tie the knot at Windsor Castle, one of the queen's official residences just outside London, after it was discovered that the venue had no licence to hold a civil ceremony.
Licensing the palace for a civil wedding was deemed to be too much trouble--it would have also made the venue “regularly available”, for three years, to other British couples who want to marry there--so the pair opted for Windsor's much smaller townhall down the road.
