Social events of note

Prince Charles is getting married.  The official photo (click to enlarge -- suitable for framing) was released yesterday.  Here is a portion of the announcement:

Prince Charles announced Thursday that he will marry his lover Camilla Parker Bowles, putting an official seal on a long romance that Princess Diana blamed for the breakdown of her tempestuous marriage to the heir to the throne. The announcement ruled out the possibility that she would become queen.

The Prince of Wales and Parker Bowles, both divorced, will marry on Friday, April 8, at Windsor Castle, said Clarence House, Charles' residence and office.

Married at the office -- that's dedication.  It's hard to criticize a monarchy like that.
