Elton: Charles wed the wrong woman

Elton John is convinced Prince Charles should have fought for his first love Camilla Parker-Bowles instead of exchanging vows with Diana, Princess of Wales - because the pair was a tragic mismatch.

The pop superstar has urged the world to accept Charles plans to wed Parker- Bowles later this year because it's his big chance to find romance and happiness with the right woman.

He says: "I think that when he married Princess Diana, I don't think that maybe they were the right couple to get married at that time.

"I was great friends with Princess Diana but I know Charles as well and he's a good-intentioned man. I just think he initially married the wrong woman and he probably should have married the right woman."

And Elton admits he's quite a fan of Charles' future bride: "She's a hoot. She's funny. She has an incredible sense of humour."
