I loved that spikey thing too, it was gold plated feathers so I'm told.

Yes it is barmy that the C of E came into existence because Henry VIII wanted a divorce (or anullment) and the Pope wouldn't permit it.

I don't think as much fuss was made about Princess Anne's divorce and remarriage because she remarried on Scotland (where the church doesn't object to the situation) and because she isn't the heir to the throne and so there isn't all this rigmarole and red tape nonsense surrounding her.

I think technically because Charles's ex-wife is deceased he could be regarded as a widower by a church which doesn't recognise divorce but Camilla's husband is still alive so itheir marriage would still involve a divorced (ie in the church's eyes still technically married before God) person.
