Charles delays royal wedding

PRINCE Charles's wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles was postponed yesterday because it clashed with the Pope's funeral.

Instead of marrying his fiancée in Windsor's Guildhall on Friday, Charles will now travel to Rome to pay his respects at the Pontiff's burial.

The heir to the British throne decided to delay his nuptials until Saturday in order to represent the Queen at the service. Paddy Harverson, Charles's communications secretary, said the Prince felt that switching the date was "absolutely the right thing to do".
