Here's an interesting piece from the Guardian:

It's not unusual for Anglicans to find meaning in Eastern spirituality. After all, I'm here

You have to love reporters and wonder at their skill in use of non-sequitors :rolleyes: The prince, ..., is said to be especially drawn to the Orthodox church's rugged spirituality. Orthodox faithful are allowed to marry up to three times. I guess marrying 3 times must be a sign of rugged spirituality ????? 
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Of course, the bishop granting a second, penitential, marriage service, which would lack a crowning ritual, would first want to see signs of the applicants' pennance. Are there any?

Prince Charles is free to remarry in any denomination I know of; his first wife (Princess Diana)died in a traffic accident. I believe most churches allow someone whose first spouse has died to remarry w/o restriction.
Now if he wanted to marry Camilla Parker-Bowles her status as a divorced person would come in to play.
