So Chuck and Cammy are getting hitched?

Our Prime Minister has called the recently-announced engagement "sensible". What a terrible world to describe this supposedly happy occasion.
Johnny Howard has also commented that the nuptials are something that "most people expected". Well not me. I always imagined they would maintain the status quo and hump like jackrabbits at their respective country retreats until they were too old to do it anymore. What's wrong with Charles staying a bachelor? Why does he have to marry his infamous "other woman"? Knowing how much the British people loved Diana, how whole-heartedly will they now embrace the woman who was allegedly behind the marriage collapse?
And when the wedding bells toll at the end of the service, Camilla will have the 'courtesy title' of "Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cornwall" and be known as the "Princess Consort". Does anyone else think this has undertones of courtesan about it? I don't know how happy I'd be with that title. Duchess is okay cause you'd get in free at the movies, but Consort suggests people might think you're just a bit on the side, plus tiara.
What's the matter with the PR machine at the Palace? It's going to have to work overtime to fix Cam's reputation and one would suggest they have their hands full with Harry right now. Perhaps someone should start on Camilla's hairstyle and work from there.
