About this listen

 On February 18th, 2005, The Guardian published the decidedly glamorous headline “Charles and Camilla Forced to Wed in Local Register Office.” The tabloids, therefore, crowned future queen Camilla Parker Bowles the "Town Hall Bride.” So how did King Charles's second wife come to have her own second wedding in such an understated location when royal nuptials are usually held in more august venues? This week, we celebrate Charles and Camilla’s 20th wedding anniversary with a re-listen of our episode on Camilla’s low-key (second) wedding — a day which started with her struggling to get out of bed.
