Charles' future is constrained by two pieces of 18th century legislation: the 1701 Act of Settlement, which requires the heir not to be or to marry a Roman Catholic (no problem, since Parker-Bowles is not, though she was married to one), and the 1772 Royal Marriages Act, which allows the heir to marry only with permission of the sovereign, or, if the heir is older than 25, to declare his intention to marry and go ahead only if both houses of Parliament have not objected after 12 months...
