Answer:
Prince Charles has married his longtime love Saturday in a brief ceremony that may lack the majesty of his 1981 marriage to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, but by all accounts is the culmination of a genuine love match that spans some 30 years.
Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles - now the Duchess of Cornwall among other titles she immediately assumed upon taking her vows - tied the knot in a lunchtime civil ceremony attended by just 30 close family members at Windsor's town hall.
The newly married couple emerged from the Guildhall in the Queen's Rolls Royce shortly before 1 p.m. British time.
The smiling newlyweds and other members of the Royal Family - including princes William and Harry - briefly greeted the crowds outside the town hall following the ceremony. Camilla was dressed in an oyster-coloured suit and hat with a lace brim, and Charles wore a morning suit.
The couple was then whisked literally around the corner to the breathtaking medieval fortress known as Windsor Castle, where their marriage was to be blessed in the palace's chapel before an estimated 800 guests - none more important than the Queen and Prince Philip, whose decision not to attend their son's second wedding was said to have been a major humiliation for Charles.
The guests, including diplomats, government representatives and celebrities from around the globe, were to be on hand both for the blessing ceremony at St. George's Chapel and the reception afterwards before the royal couple jets off for a rustic Scottish honeymoon.
Two busloads of Royal Family members arrived at Guildhall about 10 minutes before the start of the ceremony. Princes William and Harry, with their cousin, Zara Phillips, were dressed in morning coats and dark-pink ties and also briefly greeted the crowd.
Gov. Gen. Adrienne Clarkson was among the guests expected to fete the couple later Saturday, along with six Canadian soldiers from military regiments across Canada. Canada's gift to the couple is a pewter bowl made by a Newfoundland artist.
Under cool, sunny skies on Saturday, crowds crammed the narrow streets of Windsor near Guildhall - roadways made ever more narrow by the many police barricades erected to stop anyone from getting too close to the Royal Family.
A Canadian woman dressed from head to toe in Canadian garb, including a Maple Leaf felt hat and knitted sweater, was among the throngs.
"It's the royal wedding and I just get a kick out of everything the royals do," said Regina's Colleen Slater-Smith, who described herself as 29-and-holding. "We're part of the Commonwealth . . . it's part of our heritage."
Others in the crowd included an eclectic cast of characters, including a group of Royal Family and British celebrity lookalikes - Victoria Beckham, Elton John and the Queen among them - who watched the events from a second-storey hotel window, waving at the crowds and at the members of a marching band made up of the Queen's guards that made its way along scenic High Street.
It is said the course of true love never runs smoothly - and that might be something of an understatement for Charles and Camilla, who met in 1970 at a polo match.
Prince Charles was said to be heartbroken when Camilla wed Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973 after he scuppered the budding romance by joining the navy. By Charles's own admission, they resumed their romance in the mid-1980s while both were married to other people.
The beloved Diana, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997, famously blamed Camilla for breaking up their union, saying in a televised interview that there had been "three of us" in the marriage in a series of sordid events said to be excruciatingly embarrassing for the Queen.
Even the lead-up to Charles and Camilla's wedding Saturday, following their engagement announcement in February, travelled a rocky road that would lead the superstitious to wonder if Diana was orchestrating events from the grave.
From the very start, Charles had to switch the venue of the nuptials from Windsor Castle to the less-secure Guildhall due to legal complications. He was then forced to switch his wedding day from Friday to Saturday to attend Pope John Paul's funeral in Rome.
