Dear Mum, When the time comes, I want you to Dignitas. Thank goodness you are only 86 years old, and that date is still far from approaching. But I'm sure you're concerned with the indignity of all things that comes with old age. And I've already stated that I will go to Zurich with you even though I don't agree with it. I love you, and I will do as you ask. You've done so many things for me, and I can't refuse you this last kindness. And, yes, I do remember that I have to bring your ashes back in a posh Harrods bag, not a cheap supermarket one! I do have to explain why I am so against it.

Throughout 2004, controversies over the legitimacy of a proposed marriage between Charles and Camilla evolved. Could a future head of the Church of England marry a divorcee - the eventuality which had caused so much trouble to the Royal Family in the 1930s?Could a future King who had admitted adultery be permitted a second marriage by the Church?

TOM UTLEY: What a miserable existence this would be if everyone took Edred Whittingham's (pictured) absurd argument that having children is immoral because we can't be sure there is a habitable planet for them to grow up on.'

George Carey, the country's most influential cleric from 1991 to 2002, told ITVX's The Real Crown: Inside the House of Windsor that his 'animated chat' with then Camilla Parker Bowles persuaded him to 'talk to other people behind the scenes'. It was said to have been instrumental in facilitating King Charles and Camilla's 2005 wedding.

Can we meet?"' Charles' future wife attended the address and Lord Carey was struck by 'nice-looking, intelligent' Camilla, who described the meeting as 'enthralled.'

George Carey, the most senior cleric from 1991 to 2002, tells ITVX's The Real Crown how he was called in to try and save the couple's turbulent family life. 'I discovered myself as the Archbishop of Canterbury pitched in to this,' he says.

'I wanted to try and meet up,' says Lord Carey, who claims that the 'dynamic between Charles and Diana,' alongside Prince and Princess of Wales, was not going to be fruitful.'
