The Royal Family ARE the C of E of course she would have to convert, however I am proud to be British and proud that Autumn is now part of our Royal Family, I am a monarchist and proud of it, surely if there is anything wrong here, its that religion exists and creates divides! Congrats 2 both

Anna...bigitory is built into the British establishment. 2008 and nonsense like this exists. Why has it not beeen changed? Easy, because the majority of non-Catholics dont want to change it. It called bigitory and was expressed very well in Northern Ireland for a very long time.

No doubt they'll breed and we'll have more royal spongers to pay for... Makes you proud to be British and so happy to pay extortionate taxes to pay for this lot.

Ivan Axetogrind, London, UK

I'm non-catholic and I married a catholic in a catholic church, so I'm not sure why anyone thinks it cant be done?

I've also changed a lot of things in my life to be with the one I love, so it is possibly what Autumn actually wanted to do for Peter

very best wishes to the happy couple

Phillips could have given up his claim to the throne. He is 11th in line. If he had put her first then she wouldn't have had to give up her religion.

On another note, I am a Catholic who married a non-Catholic in the Catholic Church. So it is permitted.

Thomas, Ottawa, Canada

Actually non-Catholics can marry Catholics in a Catholic church because I have been to a number of these weddings - Buddist-Catholic, Jewish-Catholic, etc.

Paul Tallon, Framingham, MA, USA

Non catholics can't even marry a catholic in a catholic church or be buried with them, so I don't know why they're accusing people of being bigots.

Having been brought up in both Protestant and Catholic religions as a child; it is the Catholic religion that should go, not the monarchy. The Catholic religion is a law unto itself and is way out of step with the rest of the Christian world which is why the sensible monarchy has this rule.

The Canadian girl did well to renounce her religion . Too bad she has to adopt the Church of England creed . The tenets of the faith remain the same ...False trinitarian baptism , and one day soon the Cof E is likely to return to the original mother church . Anyway , Best Wishes to Both parties.

John Blissett, vancouver , canada

What nonsense! It has nothing to do with Catholic bigotry but about family matters, a Catholic family would have demanded the exact same! And anyhow, a Protestant marriage wouldn't even be recognised by Catholic ecclesiastical authorities, how's that for religious bigotry

Alex, Paris,

I am of Roman Catholic background but I am not offended by the ban on royals marrying Catholics. I have studied the history of England and Britain and understand the historical context into which the ban arose. Both people -- and nations -- have the right to keep their identities.

MaryJ, San Francisco, USA

Good luck!.

Its a bit perverse of the Church of England who will quiet happily marry Charles and Camilla who both had extra maritial affairs one concluding in making Diana an uhappy wife.

This girl who has done nothing has to renounce her religion.

steve tea, manchester, cheshire

From one Catholic girl to another, once a Catholic, always a Catholic. Her thinking and beliefs and the choices she makes in life will always reflect her Catholic upbringing and sensibilities.

Jo, Los Angeles, USA

The necessity of her religious conversion marred a beautiful event - either the the religious discrimination built into royal succession ends or the monarchy must go. I'm a monarchist at heart but institutionalized anti-Catholic bigotry is a relic of less enlightened times. There is a right choice.

And the bouquet goes to - HELLO or OK ?

I wish them all the best!!!!!!
