A Very Long Engagement

Starring Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. They are to wed decades after they first met in 1970. After Princess Diana died in a car crash in 1997, Prince Charles waited eight long years before he got down on his knees and proposed to her. How very patient, how very British. (Then again, if one stands to lose a crown because of hastily marrying a divorcee after one’s beloved wife just died in a horrible accident, one would be prudent to wait that long.)
