How Royals Show Restraint

By Julie Rawe

March Madness has taken on a different meaning in Britain, where the public is fixating on every new detail about Prince Charles' impending nuptials while still fuming that he is marrying Princess Diana's tormenter Camilla Parker Bowles. Here's a guide to the muted extravagance that will be served up on April 8. --By Julie Rawe

WHAT TO CALL THE BRIDE? After the wedding, Camilla becomes Duchess of Cornwall. If Charles is crowned, she'll officially be Queen, but says she prefers the title Princess Consort

WHO WILL BE THERE? Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the only close relatives who won't attend the civil ceremony, will join 700 guests for the religious blessing at Windsor Castle

WILL WE GET TO WATCH? The only part of the wedding the couple have agreed to televise is the 45-minute religious blessing--a far cry from Charles' last TV-wedding extravaganza

HOW WILL THE COUPLE MAKE THEIR GETAWAY? They will leave the civil ceremony in a 1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V previously used by the late Queen Mother

HOW WILL WE REMEMBER IT? So far, the few commemorative items include stamps, right, that were approved by the Queen, and unofficial tea towels
