Royal foisting?

CTV News tonight covered the Royal conundrum facing Prince Charles and his fiancée Camilla Parker-Bowles... will she be Queen, or not? While the Prince and his bride-to-be are quite happy to have her be a Princess-consort, it seems British tradition has always been that a King's wife be called the Queen, though a Queen's husband is not the King.

Another disappointment is that they cannot be married in a church, since they are both divorced, nor will they be allowed to wed in Windsor castle, their second choice.

While I will admit celebrity gossip has its place in the news, I for my part royally enjoyed the news anchor's double misshap while reporting on this item:

"It's been a bumpy road for Prince Charles and his... long time companion, Camilla Parker Bowles"

"The Queen will not be attending the civil weeding - uh wedding"
