Just getting to the big day was challenging.
Their bond remained steadfast but unpopular in the eyes of a public who revered the late Princess Diana.
But even though the path to matrimony was now smooth, the actual wedding day wasn’t stress-free.
However, because of this decision, the couple quickly discovered that Windsor Castle wasn’t going to work.
A civil ceremony requires a licensed venue.
While she skipped part one of the festivities, Queen Elizabeth attended the blessing.
This choice was not out of ill-feeling for Charles and Camilla.
Camilla also accompanied her husband-to-be to the pope’s funeral.
This last-minute date change also resulted in increased stress for royal florist Simon Lycett and his team.
In addition, a major horse racing event changed its start time to accommodate the couple.
To escape the situation, Camilla wanted to stay in bed.
However, her sister Annabel, with whomCamilla has a close relationship, diffused the situation.
I’m going to do it for you.
I’m going to get into your clothes" (perVanity Fair).
This comment was the catalyst Camilla needed to get dressed and ready on her own.
So, I mean, talk about hop-along!"
Camilla recalled in 2022 (perNewsweek).
Fortunately,Queen Elizabeth used her surprising sense of humorto help her soon-to-be daughter-in-law feel better.
