Shocking Development
Some say the Queen simply didn’t want to see her son marry again, but other rumors claim a different reason. It is widely believed that the Queen didn’t want people to believe she would put her son over the Church of England’s beliefs.
Unexpected
While the Church of England may not forbid remarriage and divorce, it is still frowned upon. In 2005, an anonymous “friend of the Queen” said that Queen Elizabeth II said, “I am not able to go. I do not feel that my position permits it.” The source also said, “The Queen feels she has to put her role with the Church before her role as a mother.”
