[Church Times] February 25, 2005--The Priest-in-Charge of St George’s, Hanworth, in Middlesex, the Revd Paul Williamson, filed an objection to the marriage in order to get the legal position re-examined. The Marriage Act of 1836 excluded the Royal Family from civil marriage. A clause in the 1949 Act, which superseded it, states: “Nothing in this Act shall affect any law or custom relating to the marriage of members of the Royal Family.”
