As the heir to the throne exchanged troths with a bashful girl just past her teens, it seemed that Prince Charming rode with Sleeping Beauty in a coach of glass. When Charles' younger brother and Diana's fourth cousin wed last week, it was a jollier occasion, a larkish high-society romance scripted by P.G. Wodehouse. No foreign heads of state were present, and no national holiday was declared. Instead, the abbey was full of family and friends, there to celebrate Queen and country and witness the perfect match...
