The story explains that former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams would not allow King Charles to marry Queen Camilla at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. It contrasts that with the later wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the same chapel, which took place with Meghan having previously been divorced.

According to the article, the earlier refusal is tied to the Church of England’s rules and the extent to which they affect who can marry in specific royal ceremonies within the church. The piece frames the comparison as a question of how similar circumstances are treated at different times.

The account centers on the role of Archbishop Rowan Williams in the decision-making process for Charles’s proposed marriage location. While it references the later public-facing example of Harry and Meghan’s wedding at the chapel, the article does not detail all of the specific legal or ecclesiastical grounds involved, focusing instead on the reported outcome: Charles’s marriage was not permitted at St George’s Chapel in the same way.
