Prince Charles remarries his teenage sweetheart
Following Charles and Diana's divorce in 1996, Charles declared his relationship with Camilla to be 'non-negotiable,' even though it was seen in a negative light. He thus hired Mark Bolland, who he had already employed to improve his own image, to refurbish Camilla's.
Camilla later meeting the Queenwas seen as a seal of approval, and surveys conducted in the UK showed that most would support marriage between Prince Charles and Camilla. On February 10, 2005, the two officially announced that they were engaged, and were permitted to wed with the permission of the Queen, the government, and the Church of England. They were married at the Windsor Guildhall town hall on April 5th.
