British Royal Marries Canadian

(AP)  Queen Elizabeth's eldest grandson has married his Canadian fiancee in a private ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly were wed at the castle's 15th-century St. George's Chapel in front of 300 guests. The royalty present included the queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, and Phillips' mother, Princess Anne. Prince Harry, the third in line to the throne, and his girlfriend Chelsy Davy were also there.

The bride wore a traditional white dress and a tiara lent to her by her mother-in-law.

Phillips - 11th in line to the throne - met Kelly in 2003, when both were working at the Montreal Grand Prix.

They've agreed to sell the story of their nuptials to the celebrity magazine Hello! for a sum reported at up to $1 million.

Not sure how this is "news". Anyway, the author "forgot" to mention that the bride is catholic and had to renounce her faith and become protestant in order to marry this guy, so he''d have a shot at the throne if the 10 people in front of him get bumped off. Not very enlightened of the Brits, if you ask me. Funny how all those who go on about the "Islamo-Fascists" and how backward they and their religion supposedly all are, don''t seem bothered by this kind of discrimination.

He is not a Prince. His mother is a Princess and his father is a commoner. Neither he nor his sister were given a title at birth.

So why is this a story?
