marriage -- the one five years ago between william's father, prince charles, and the then camilla parker-bowles has filled the information void. then, because of misgivings about camilla, who had, after all, been the other woman in charles's doomed marriage to diana, charles let it be known that when he became king camilla would only be princess consort and not queen consort -- the normal title for a queen's wife. now, though, in an interview charles seems to be reconsidering making her queen. >> does the duchess of cornwall become queen if you become queen? >> that could be. >> reporter: charles's musings have provided a distraction while plans for the next bill royal wedding remain on hold. after the "will they, won't they" suspense of their eight-year courtship, the delay is no surprise. taking their time to announce their wedding plans is very much in keeping with what we know about william and kate. they do not rush in to things. as william has said, "this isn't a race." the smart money is still on westminster abbey as the site for the ceremony. despite the sad memories of william's mother

. >> reporter: according to a friend to charles and camilla parker-bowles, comparison to princess dianae inevitable. >> i'm sure there will be a lot of comparisons, kate is very beautiful. i think she will become her own woman with her own style. and she's got lovely long hair and everybody will admire her. >> it is about carving your own future. no one is trying to fill my mother's shoes. is about making your own future and destiny and kate will do a good job of that. >> i would love to have met her. >>reporter: rumors of engagement started when she was assigned royal security in 2006. >> when i first met kate i knew there was something very special about her and possibly something that i wanted to explore. >> reporter: concerns for privacy led the palace to lodge a formal complaint against the media when a photo surfaced of kate carrying a cup of coffee and her car keys. media so intense at her 25th birthday in 2007 comparisons were made to diana's untimely death while being pursued by to paparazzi. what about paparazzi? and being chased, pursued by the media? >> security is better an

does it mean that there is still an outside shot that camilla parker bowles formerly could become queenere still a possibility? >> i mean, legally speaking, she would be queen, whether queen consort or queen, the legal role of the queen. there was an article in one of the british papers saying that she can't actually become queen because their royal marriage wasn't legal because the royal family are not allowed to get married in a civil case. but these are semantics, because once if he does become king, she will automatically assume that role. so she will, for all intents and purposes, be queen. >> to what extent are you hearing talk at all, ali, about in the wake of prince william and kate's engagement and that they'll be married, people saying, let's just bypass prince charles and king charles, queen consort, whatever she would be altogether in favor of those two? >> yeah, absolutely. the royal wedding bells are reignites debate over whether prince charles should step aside to let william be king. many are pursuing the idea as william pausing over the engagement to his longtime girlfr

now, stephanie, you know, i remember covering the prince charles and camilla parker bowles wedding therethat time, the sentiment was so tremendously against camilla, i even remember the radio reports that morning and people still talking about diana. do you think, though, in this passage of time, that has tempered somewhat and people do see him as being happy, even prince william seems to see his father as being happy and endorses that marriage. >> i think even more than somewhat, alex. i think that her popularity has been on the rise over the years. she really has appealed to a lot of people here in the way that she's conducted herself and there is some genuine good feeling towards her and perhaps there would be a bit more acceptance of it. but as you say, its was such a contentious issue back then. and it's interesting because it's actually a constitutional issue in this country. she will be, whether they call her queen contort or not, she is going the be queen contort. it's an issue of semantics, really. she would have to change the constitution for her not to be that. you can see the

how much of that do you think is a lingering distaste for camilla parker-bowles, based on the diana situation? do you think that is something prince charles will ever be able to shake or the british public gotten over that? >> a great question, alex. i think that is more to do with the media, not to do with the royal family. the british public, you will get a percentage that don't like her, obviously, on the other side of the coin, prince william and prince harry are very close to her, they've very good bond. i think you will see as the wedding develops just what a close bond william has with camilla. i think she is going to be heavily involved there. consequently, i think possibility media that would say we still dislike this woman, but get a chance to meet her, she is very bless isn't and very sweet. >> so we have heard. neil, what about this? this headline i find annoying, a prominent bishop has like.ed prince william and kate middleton to shallow celebrities and predicts their marriage will last just seven years. what is going on there? >> so long, alex. come on, you know, another person
