Actually, Bazf, the Law Society's Gazette put it at 53%, not 64%, and I would hazard a guess that they are more likely to have the correct statistics.

It isn't really a question of being opposed to the marriage - who cares what two middle-aged people do? It is a question of the constitution, unwritten largely, but the bits that are written are firmly against such a marriage and clearly declare that it is unconstitutional. The Royal Marriages Act specifically states this.

So where does that leave us? - a future King (perhaps), a future Head of the Church of England (and despite the fact that you state that 92% of Anglicans remarry, they most definitely do not do so in the Church of England) who has put personal choice before the constitution.
