Legit at Last

CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES, now H.R.H. THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL, finally married PRINCE CHARLES on a crisp Saturday in Windsor. The wedding had seemed positively jinxed. The royal chapel wasn't licensed for civil weddings, so they had to switch to a public hall; the Queen didn't attend the actual ceremony; the Pope's funeral postponed it all by a day. But in the end the crowd cheered warmly, and Camilla's dress got thumbs up. Did a coach and horses then whisk the couple away? No, a car did; their royal relatives actually clambered onto buses for the Queen's reception. Who says the monarchy can't modernize?
