Prince Charles' wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles has been postponed a day to avoid conflicting with the funeral of Pope John Paul II. The wedding, which had been scheduled for Friday in Windsor, west of London, will be held Saturday, Buckingham Palace announced Monday after the Vatican set the pope's funeral for Friday. Charles will represent Queen Elizabeth II at the funeral, the palace said. Prince Charles and Parker Bowles made the decision to move the wedding after he cut short his Swiss skiing holiday Monday. Charles returned to London where he and his fiance attended an afternoon memorial service for the pope at Westminster Cathedral. A civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall on Saturday April 9th will be followed by a televised blessing in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle attended by about 750 guests including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
