The forthcoming nuptials of the Prince and Mrs Parker Bowles were announced on 10 February 2005. Under the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, the Queen granted her consent for the marriage to take place on 2 March 2005 in a meeting of the Privy Council. In advance of the union, it was announced that Mrs Parker Bowles would take the style of Her Royal Highness and bear the title Duchess of Cornwall (one of her husband's subsidiary title); however, as the wife of the Prince of Wales, she may be legally titled as Princess of Wales.
