"I'm Not Going!!" says the Queen
"The Queen's surprise announcement that she would not be going to the town hall has added a new twist to the saga. Buckingham Palace insisted her decision was not a snub and said she was trying to respect the couple's desire for a low-key ceremony."
"But for the House of Windsor, already tainted by scandals, divorce and tragedy, the debacle has been another blow. "It is humiliating and embarrassing for Charles," said royal author Judy Wade. "This is a PR disaster turning into a farce. Royal ceremonials always go like clockwork. Now they cannot even organize a wedding in a town hall," she told Reuters.
Heapin' humiliation, Charlie! Are tampons tied with ribbon and a gilded, calligraphic "Chuck and Camilla Lovefest 2005" the planned wedding favors? ;-)

To be fair to the old bag she's supposed to be the head of the CofE, which doesn't condone weddings of divorcees. So if she goes to Jugs' do at the registry office she'll be slagged off in the papers (strangely, she's allowed to attend a blessing of this frowned-upon union). If she doesn't, she gets slagged off in the papers for snubbing them.
Either way its a load of irrelevant nonsense about a bunch of irrelevant people.
The papers should be getting worried about bird flu or the looming war with Iran, but neither shift units as well as pictures of "royalty".

At least those party favors would be useful.
