I think the government is deliberately undermining the monarchy. It seems quite happy to let the uncertainty continue over the legality of Prince Charles' marriage to Camilla, and for our future king to suffer the inconvenience and indignity of being married in a public registry office.
It would not be difficult for Parliament to pass an Act putting the legitimacy of Charles' wedding beyond doubt, and enabling him to have the civil ceremony at Windsor Castle as originally intended, but without making the Queens' home a wedding venue for everyone else.
It is not enough for our second rate Lord Chancellor to make a statement of his advice: the trouble is that if there is any question over the legality of Charles' marriage, it may give rise to serious constitutional and legal questions in the future, affecting not only Charles' family and heirs, but the country.
We owe it to the family who bear the burden of being Britain's constitutional keystone, and to ourselves, to sort this out properly.
