It’s just been on the news that Charles has cancer and is not taking any duties for now

A devout Catholic friend tried many years ago to get his marriage annulled so he could remarry in the Catholic Church and it took many years of interviews, canon lawyers, etc., without success. One of the Kennedys at the same time got their annulment from the Pope quickly with little fuss. At the time our friend generously remarked that Kennedy likely had a very good case. Our friend gave up and remarried in a civil ceremony.

I was just thinking that in the past (when you watch programmes like Heir Hunters) there were quite a few bigamous marriages and usually in churches. Presumably the people involved just lied about their status. Maybe it's one area where we are a bit more honest than we used to be.

Not more honest but more difficult to lie

these posts aren't about King Charles anymore but very interesting so why doesn't someone open a new thread on the new subject?

Pleased to see the King attending church at Sandringham this morning.

(Getting the thread back to the main subject).

I thought it was nice that Charles acknowledged and thanked the public for their support.

Yes, I thought so too. It’s good that he was well enough to attend Church today.
