‘We wish them every happiness’

The Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, has responded to the news of the Prince of Wales’s engagement to Mrs Camilla Parker-Bowles.

He said:

“The Royal Family, with their unique role in our national life, are always assured of the goodwill and prayers of the Catholic community. I know that Catholics will join with me at this time in praying for the Prince of Wales and Mrs Parker-Bowles and in wishing them every happiness.”
