Tue., Feb. 15, 2005

Prince Charles and his fiancee, Camilla Parker Bowles, celebrated Valentine’s Day in private at his country estate after the heir to the throne spent the day at work. The couple spent a quiet weekend together following the massive publicity surrounding their wedding announcement Thursday.
In the coming weeks, they are expected to complete preparations for their April 8 civil wedding ceremony at Windsor Castle.
The newly engaged royal couple received the blessings of their local priest at a church service near the prince’s country home on Sunday.
“I prayed for their happiness together and that they may come to love one another more each day and more and more draw closer to God,” the Rev. Christopher Mulholland said after officiating at the service at tiny St. Lawrence’s Church.
“People are very glad when two of the congregation have decided to get married,” he added. “There was a great sense of goodwill.”
